j|rOR  over  ten  years  the  compiler  has  been  collecting  the  data 
^31  for  this  book.  The  materials  for  the  earlier  part  of  the  work 
have  been  drawn  almost  entirely  from  vital  records,  probate 
records,  land  records  and  other  original  sources.  The  chief  sources 
of  information  covering  the  last  century  have  been  Bible  records 
and  statements  furnished  by  various  members  of  the  family. 

The  author  has  been  kindly  assisted  in  collecting  materials 
by  the  following  persons:  George  Chapel  Wickware  of  San 
Francisco,  Cal. ;  Harry  H.  Wickwire,  Attorney  General  of  Nova 
Scotia;  Theodore  H.  Wickwire  of  Cortland,  N.  Y. ;  Mrs.  Charles 
Walton  Sanders,  nee  Wickwire,  of  New  York  City;  Edward  L. 
W^ickwire  of  Chicago,  III. ;  Dr.  William  Nathan  Wickwire  of  Hali- 
fax, Nova  Scotia;  Charles  M.  Wickwire  of  Waterville,  N.  Y.;  Hon. 
Newton  R.  Wickwire  of  Hamilton,  N.  Y.;  Mrs.  James  W.  Robot- 
tom,  nee  Wickware,  of  Jersey  City,  N.  J.;  Manley  Horatio  Wick- 
wire of  Sheffield,  Mass.,  and  by  many  others  who  have  done  what 
they  could  to  facilitate  the  work.  To  all  these  the  author  ex- 
presses his  grateful   acknowledgments. 

Great  pains  have  been  taken  to  copy  with  fidelity  the  records 
examined  and  materials  furnished.  It  is  to  be  observed,  however, 
that  when  information  is  drawn  from  hundreds  of  sources,  some 
errors  will  inevitably  creep  in.  Any  reader  discovering  an  error 
is  earnestly  requested  to  send  the  correction  to  the  author. 

The  plan  of  arrangement  is  that  usually  followed  by  similar 
works.  All  the  members  of  each  generation  are  dealt  with  before 
the  next  generation  is  taken  up.  The  black-faced  numerals  refer 
to  heads  of  families;  and  each  such  numeral  will  be  found  first 


where  the  name  first  appears  as  that  of  a  son  or  daughter;  and 
next  in  its  proper  order  as  the  head  of  a  family.  Thus  Captain 
Joseph  first  appears  at  page  81  as  the  son  of  Peter,  and  is  num- 
bered 15;  and  secondly  at  page  90,  he  appears  as  head  of  his 
family, — the  15th  family  treated  of. 

The  author  has  been  at  considerable  expense  in  collecting 
the  data  relating  to  the  name  in  England,  but  many  records  re- 
main yet  to  be  examined.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  other  members  of 
the  family  will  supplement  the  record  with  additional  data  gath- 
ered  as  occasion   offers.

-^tKHE  ancient  town  of  Wickwar  lies  in  the  southern  part  of 
^ly  Gloucestershire,  one  of  the  central  counties  of  England. 
It  is  situated  on  the  river  Avon,  about  ten  miles  east  from  the 
Severn,  the  great  western  river  which  flows  southerly  through  the 
county  of  Gloucester,  and  empties  into  the  Bristol  channel.  The 
history  of  Wickwar  runs  far  back  beyond  the  time  of  William  the 
Conqueror. 

The  primitive  name  of  the  manor  was  Wick  or  Wichen,  and 
this  name  persisted  through  many  centuries,  until  King  John 
granted  the  manor  to  Sir  John  La  Warre,  after  which  the  name 
became  Wick- Warre. 

The  name — Wiche  or  Wichen — was  apparently  derived  from 
either  (1)  the  Latin  vicus,  meaning  a  village;  or  (2)  the  Danish 
vie  or  wic,  meaning  a  river's  creek,  curvatures,  or  windings.  Says 
Nicholas,  Pedigrees  of  the  English  People,  page  483: 

"History  is  nearly  silent,  but  the  faithful  voice  of  local  and 
personal  designations  leaves  us  in  no  uncertainty  as  to  the  fact 
that  those  terrible  sea-rovers,  before  the  Danish  conquest  of  Eng- 
land, left  their  marks  on  almost  every  creek  and  headland  of 
Britain  *  *  *  Wick  (a  creek) ,  stake  (a  column  of  rock) ,  holm  (an 
island),  by  (a  dwelling,  a  village),  thorp,  throp  (a  village),  are 
Danish  words,  and  are  all  with  others  of  Danish  origin  to  be  found." 

Referring  to  the  early  expeditions  of  the  Vikings  to  the  shores 
of  England,  Fiske  says: 

"The  proper  division  of  this  old  Norse  word  is  not  into  vi-king, 
but  into    vik-ing.      The  first    syllable  means  a  'bay'  or  'fiord,' 

-13- 


the  second  is  a  patronymic  termination,  so  that  'vikings'  are 
'sons  of  the  fiord,'  —  an  eminently  appropriate  and  descriptive 
name."  ' 

The  earhest  monument  reveahng  the  historic  antiquity 
of  the  site  is  the  Roman  bridge  which  spans  the  Avon,  and  which 
was  built  during  the  Roman  occupation  of  the  Island. 

The  power  of  Rome  was  established  in  southern  Britain 
during  the  reign  of  Claudius — A.  D.  43-54 — and  the  powerful 
fortress  of  Gloucester  was  built  in  45.  Five  great  roads  and  numer- 
ous bridges  were  built  in  Gloucestershire  before  Rome,  in  410, 
withdrew  her  legions  in  the  vain  hope  to  stem  the  tide  that  was 
rising  in  the  north  and  was  to  overwhelm  the  Imperial  City. 

This  bridge  has  therefore  been  the  silent  witness  of  over  fif- 
teen centuries  of  English  history.  It  suggests  the  possibility  that 
Wick  may  have  been  a  Roman  villa  at  a  very  early  date. 

The  Anglo-Saxon  conquest  of  Britain  began  in  449.  Seven 
kingdoms  were  ultimately  established  by  the  invaders,  in  whose 
struggles  for  supremacy  through  succeeding  centuries  is  discerned 
the  onward  march  toward  national  unity. 

Mercia,  one  of  the  most  powerful  of  these  kingdoms,  embraced 
a  large  area  extending  from  Wales  to  the  North  Sea  on  both  sides 
of  the  Trent,  and  included  what  later  became  the  county  of 
Gloucester. 

In  679  Mercia  was  subdivided  into  five  bishoprics,  of  which 
the  first,  called  Wiccia,  embraced  the  present  counties  of  Glou- 
cester, Worcester  and  southern  Warwick.  The  inhabitants  of 
this  territory  were  called  Wiccii,  or  Wicces. 

In  798  Kenulph,  King  of  Mercia,  founded  the  monastery 
of  Winchcomb,  in  Gloucestershire,  and  endowed  it  with  great 
revenues.  It  was  consecrated  by  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury 
and  twelve  other  bishops  in  the  presence  of  King  Kenulph,  Cuth- 
red,  King  of  Kent,  Sired,  King  of  the  West  Saxons    and  most  of

the  great  noblemen  of  Mercia.  Among  the  manors  and  lands 
granted  to  it  were  certain  properties  in  "Wiche."  About  four 
centuries  later  (1175),  the  bull  of  Pope  Alexander  the  Third,  con- 
firming these  possessions  to  the  Abbot  of  Winchcomb  and  his 
brethren,  covenanted  to  "defend  the  same,  ordaining  that  what- 
soever possessions  *  *  *  the  Monastery  has  or  shall  have  by  the 
grant  of  bishops,  kings  or  princes  shall  remain  forever  firm  and 
inviolable  to  them  and  their  successors." 

In  930,  during  the  reign  of  Athelstan,  the  manor  of  Wick, 
or  Wichen,  belonged  to  Hail  ward  Maew,  from  whom  it  descended 
to  his  son  Algar,  who  held  it  during  the  reign  of  Aethelred  the 
Unready,  and  who  espoused  the  cause  of  Cnut  at  the  battle  of  Shers- 
ton  in  1016.  From  Algar  the  manor  passed  to  his  son  Brictric, 
a  powerful  nobleman,  who  held  it  during  the  reign  of  Edward 
the  Confessor. 

A  romantic  story  is  connected  with  the  name  of  Brictric. 
He  was  sent  as  ambassador  to  the  court  of  Baldwin,  Count  of 
Flanders.  Maud,  or  Matilda,  as  she  was  sometimes  called  daughter 
of  Baldwin,  and  afterwards  wife  of  William  the  Conqueror,  fell 
in  love  with  Brictric  while  he  was  at  her  father's  court.  He,  how- 
ever, refused  to  marry  her  and  when  in  later  years  she  became 
Queen  of  England  she  wreaked  upon  him  the  vengeance  of  a 
woman  scorned.  She  caused  all  his  estates,  including  the  manor 
of  Wick,  to  be  confiscated,  and  cast  him  into  prison  at  Win- 
chester,  where  he  languished  and  died. 

The  great  historical  poem  of  the  poet  Wace  relative  to  the 
Norman  Kings  and  Dukes,  written  about  1160,  is  one  of  the  ear- 
liest authorities  for  the  story  of  Maud's  disappointment.  It  was 
written  in  Norman  French.  It  sets  forth  in  detail  the  incidents  of 
the  story,  and  states  that  the  lands  of  Brictric  were  parceled 
out  among  the  followers  of  William  the  Conqueror.' 


(1)  Consult  Sir  H.   Ellis,    Introduction  to  Domesday   Book,  vol.  2,  p. 
54  et  seq. 

-15- 


The  annals  of  John  Leland,  the  father  of  Enghsh  antiqui- 
ties,  contain  the  following   confirmatory   account: 

"Brictricus  Imbassiator  in  Normannia  refutavit  nuptias 
Matildas   postea  uxoris   Gul.    Conquestoris. 

Brictricus  Dns.  Gloucestriae  captus  in  manerio  suo  de 
hanleia  et  Wintorium  ductus;  ubi  sine  liberis  obiit. 

Matildis  regina  honorem  Gloucestriae  mortuo  Brictrico  ac- 
cepit." 

With  the  fall  of  Harold,  son  of  Edward  the  Confessor,  on  the 
field  of  Hastings  in  1066,  the  crown  of  England  passed  to  William 
the  Conqueror.  He  rewarded  his  Norman  followers  for  their  faith- 
ful services  by  conferring  upon  them  many  estates  wrested  from 
their  former  owners.  The  manor  of  Wick,  or  Wichen,  was  granted 
by  the  Queen  to  Humfry,  the  chamberlain. 

In  1085-6,  by  command  of  the  King,  the  record  known  as 
Domesday  Book  was  compiled.  This  most  valuable  historical 
document  contains  a  description  of  all  the  manors,  lands  and 
estates  in  the  realm,  with  the  names  of  the  then  owners,  and  the 
owners  during  the  prior  reign  of  King  Edward,  the  size  and  tax- 
able value  of  each  manor,  and  other  data.  On  the  accompany- 
ing page  is  a  fac-simile  of  the  portion  relating  to  Wick,  taken  from 
the  chapter  on  Gloucestershire. 

The  Latin  is  somewhat  abbreviated,  but  is  not  difficult  to 
translate : 

"Humfry  the  chamberlain  holds  Wichen.  There  are  four 
hides.'  Three  free  men  of  Brichtric,  the  son  of  Algar,  held  it 
in  King  Edward's  time  for  three  manors,  and  they  had  liberty  to 
go  whither  they  would.  There  are  three  ploughs  in  the  demesne; 
and  nine  villeins,  and  fourteen  bordares,  with  nine  plough- 
tillages.  There  are  five  bondmen,  and  twenty  acres  of  meadow, 
and  six  furlongs  of  wood.     It  is  worth  and  was  worth  twelve 


(1)   A  hide  is  land  for  the  support  of  one  family.

WICK  WAR. 
The  orif^inal  was  written  by  command  of   William   the  Concjueror  in 
108G  A.  D.     The  last  two  i>aragraphs  relate  to  the    Manor  of  Wick,  which 
became  Wick-Warre  after  its  actjuisition  by  Sir  John   Warre  aliout  a  cen- 
tury later. 

The  translation  j^iven  in  the  text  covers  only  the  paragraphs  relating 
to  Wick. 


pounds  *  *  *  These  two  villages,  Actum  and  Wichen,  the  Queen 
gave  to  Humfry." 

Humfry  the  chamberlain  died  seized  of  the  manor  of  Wichen, 
and  it  passed  to  his  son  Richard  who  died  23  Hen.  II.  (1177), 
leaving  a  son  Walter  de  Cormeilis,  who  was  the  last  of  the  male 
line  and  died  leaving  three  daughters,  Margaret,  Alureda  and 
Sybill.  About  this  time  the  manor  became  a  part  of  the  seign- 
iory of  Gloucester. 

A  few  years  prior  to  1200,  John,  Earl  of  Gloucester  (and  after- 
wards King) ,  granted  the  manor  to  Sir  John  La  Warre ;  and  later 
when  John  became  king,  he  confirmed  the  grant  in  the  eighth 
year  of  his  reign  (1207).  Thus  the  manor  became  known  as  Wick- 
Warre,  by  a  combination  of  the  two  names,  Wick  and  Warre. 

The  history  of  Gloucestershire,  published  by  Sir  Robert 
Atkins  in  1712,  contains  a  chapter  relating  to  Wickwar,  in  the 
hundred  of  Grumbald's  Ash;  and  it  is  stated  that  the  original 
parish  of  Wick  obtained  its  additional  name  of  War  from  the 
family  who  for  many  years  were  lords  of  the  manor. 

The  manuscript  History  of  the  Parish  of  Wickwar,  by  the 
late  Mr.  John  Roberts,  compiled  in  1844  (3  Gloucestershire  Notes 
and  Queries)  states  that  the  ancient  name  was  Wichen,  from  wic, 
and  afterwards  became  Wickwar  from  the  family  of  La  Warr, 
who  for  several  generations  were  lords  of  the  manor. 

Samuel  Rudder's  History  of  Gloucestershire,  page  818,  rel- 
ative to  Wickwar,  states:  "The  ancient  name  was  Wichen,  from 
wic,  which  has  various  significations,  as  a  village,  a  hamlet,  a 
castle,  etc.  It  was  afterwards  called  Wickwar,  from  the  family 
of  La  Warre,  who  for  many  generations  were  lords  of  the  manor."

The  name  of  War,  Ware,  Warre,  signifying  war,  is  of  very 
early  origin.  The  old  French  form  was  werre,  guerre;  middle 
Latin  werra;  Provencal  guerre;  Anglo-Saxon  werre;  middle 
English  wer,  war,  werre,  weorre,  wyare.  In  Domesday  Book  the 
form   waras   is  sometimes  used. 

Burke's  Commoners,  vol.  4,  states:  "The  family  of  Ware, 
according  to  Walter  Harris,  who  had  access  to  Sir  James  Ware's 
private  records  (see  Harris'  Ware,  vol.  2,  p.  145)  claims  a  descent 
from  Roger  de  Ware,  Lord  of  Isefield,  and  a  Baron  of  Parliament 
in  the  reign  of  Edward  L  The  founder  of  the  House  was  Jordan 
de  la  War,  of  Wick,  in  the  County  of  Gloucestershire,  whose  de- 
scendants enjoyed  extensive  grants  of  land  in  the  southern,  mid- 
land and  western  counties  of  England,  for  having  signalized 
themselves  in  various  wars,  particularly  on  the  fields  of  Cressy 
and  Poictiers." 

In  the  early  records  the  name  is  variously  spelled,  viz.:  War, 
Ware,   Warr,    Warre,    Weare. 

The  early  pedigree  of  the  Warre  family  is  given  in  4  Bristol 
and  Glouc.  Arch.  Soc.  Coll.,  197:

Prior  to  the  Conquest,  1066,  surnames  were  not  in  use  among 
the  Britons  and  Saxons.     The    practice  of    using  surnames,  in- 
troduced by  the  Normans,  was  not  fully  established  in  England 
for  a  century  or  two  after  the  Conquest. 

4  Freeman,  Norman  Conquest,  164,  755,  states  that  "The 
most  remarkable  man,  and  the  official  of  highest  rank,  among 
those  who  won  William's  favor  in  the  western  shires  was  Ead- 
noth  (Alnod,  Alnodus,  Elnod),  a  man  who  seems  to  have  risen 
by  the  favor  of  Harold,  who  had  held  the  office  of  staller  under 
Edward  and  Harold,  and  who  had  large  estates  in  various  parts  of 
England,  especially  in  the  west.  He  became  a  zealous  adherent 
of  William  and,  as  we  shall  presently  see,  died  in  his  service." 
Mention  is  also  made  of  his  son  Harding,  "forefather  of  the  great 
house  of  the  Lords  of  Berkeley." 

"In  Gloucestershire  Harding  held  lands  in  pledge  (vade- 
monio)  of  a  certain  Brihtric,  which  Brihtric  had  held  in  the  time 

of  King  Edward." 

-20- 


Rudder,  p.  272,  states  that  Harding,  according  to  Leland, 
was  descended  from  the  kings  of  Denmark. 

1  Collinson,  Somersetshire,  184,  states  that  the  present  manor 
of  Over-Weare,  anciently  called  Were,  or  Werre,  in  Somerset- 
shire, was  held  by  Walter  de  Dowai,  a  Norman,  at  the  time  of  the 
Domesday  survey;  and  that  it  descended  to  Robert  de  Berkeley, 
of  the  ancient  house  of  Berkeley,  in  Gloucestershire,  who  thus  be- 
came possessed  of  the  manor  and  assumed  the  title  of  de  Were; 
but  sometimes  wrote  his  name,  as  before,  Robert  de  Berkeley. 

Rudder,  283,  states  that  Robert  de  Berkeley  married  Alice, 
daughter  and  heiress  of  Robert  de  Gant  (son  of  Gilbert  de  Gant 
who  came  to  England  with  the  Conqueror),  and  by  this  marriage 
obtained  "the  great  lordship  of  de  Were  in  county  Somerset, 
whence  he  took  the  name  of  Robert  de  Were." 

From  the  foregoing  accounts  it  appears  that  while  the  manor 
of  Were  was  acquired  by  Robert,  second  son  of  Harding,  and  de- 
scended to  the  Berkeley  family,  yet  Jordan,  fourth  son  of  Harding, 
had  previously  assumed  the  title  or  designation  of  de  la  Warre 
or  Were,  and  it  is  probable  that  at  some  period  he  resided  at  Were. 
His  descendants  retained  the  appellation  as  a  surname. 

The  Visitations  of  Somersetshire  for  1531  and  1573  contain 
tabulated  pedigrees  of  the  main  branch  of  the  Warre  family  run- 
ning back  many  centuries  prior  to  that  time.  The  following  is 
taken  from  page  88 :

There  were  various  branches  of  the  Warre  family,  some  of 
which  obtained  distinct  grants  of  arms,  which  however  vary  only 
slightly  from  the  arms  of  the  main  family  as  given  above.  The 
branch  seated  at  Hestercomb,  in  Somersetshire,  obtained  the 
following  arms  in  1576:  gules,  a  lion  rampant,  argent,  between 
eight  cross  crosslets,  fitchee,  of  the  second;  crest,  out  of  a  ducal 
coronet,  or,  a  griffin's  head,  az.,  beaked  of  the  first. 

The  arms  of  the  branch  residing  at  Chipleigh,  Somersetshire, 
were:  gules,  crusilly  fitchee,  ar.  a  lion  rampant  of  the  last;  crest, 
out  of  a  ducal  coronet,  or  a  griffin's  head,  az. 

Further  details  regarding  the  Warre  family  appear  in  the 
ensuing  chapter  relating  to  the  manor.

5|r|URING  the  century  following  the  grant  of  the  manor  of  Wick 
^^  to  John  La  Warre  (1207),  the  manor  gradually  acquired  the 
name  of  Wyke- Warre.  Early  inquisitions,  patents  and  other  pub- 
lic records  now  extant  disclose  the  history  of  the  manor  and  parish 
for  several  hundred  years.  These  inquisitions  were  reports  by 
an  escheator,  commission  or  jury,  disclosing  the  names  of  land- 
holders in  various  counties,  and  the  nature  of  their  tenure. 

A  charter,  granted  20  June,  1227,  by  King  Henry,  to  Jordan 
la  Warre,  exempted  him  from  being  put  on  any  assize,  jury  or  rec- 
ognizance. 

An  inquisition  taken  during  the  same  reign  states  that  one- 
half  a  virgate  of  land  in  Glouc.  was  held  by  Jordon  la  Franckelyn 
of  "Jordan  de  la  Wike."  This  entry  shows  that  Jordan  was  de- 
scribed indifferently  as  "de  la  Warre,"  or  "de  la  Wike." 

The  jury  list  of  Gloucestershire,  temp.  32,  Hen.  III.  (1247,  8) 
mentions  Jordanus  le  War  as  one  of  the  jurors  at  the  "manerium 
deWik."' 

An  inquisition  taken  in  1261  states  that  a  tract  of  land  in 
Gloucestershire,  called  Henpanger,  "near  the  manor  of  Wike," 
belonged  to  the  Abbot  of  Wyke.* 

An  inquisition  taken  in  1268  states  that  William  de  Bello  Cam- 
po  (William  de  Beauchamp,  Earl  of  Warwick)  held  "the  manor  of 
Wykewauer  in  chief  of  the  King  by  the  service  of  the  fifth  part 


(1)  10  Bristol  &  Glouc.  Arch.  302. 

(2)  29  Brit.  Rec.  Soc.  26. 

-25- 


of  a  knight's  fee;"  and  it  refers  also  to  the  "court  of  Wykewauer, 
with  the  houses,  gardens  and  other  things  appurtenant  thereto.'" 

This  statement  is  not  inconsistent  with  the  record  that  the 
manor  was  possessed  by  Sir  John  La  Warre,  for  the  Earl  of  Warwick 
was  the  overlord  of  great  possessions,  but  was  not  in  the  actual 
tenure  thereof. 

An  inquisition  of  Hundredal  and  Manorial  franchises,  taken 
in  1275,  states  that  the  manor  of  Wyke  was  held  by  John  la  War.^ 

In  1281  Edward  I  granted  to  John  la  Warre  the  privileges 
of  a  weekly  market  and  yearly  fair  in  Warre- Wike.' 

In  1282  Walter  de  Wyke  ware  was  ordained  Abbot  of  the 
Monastery  of  Winchcomb,  which  dignity  he  held  till  his  death,  in 
1314.  The  abbots  of  Winchcomb  were  mitred  abbots,  and  sat 
in  Parliament.* 

On  January  2,  1285,  King  Edward  I  granted  to  Roger  la  Warre 
and  his  heirs,  a  weekly  market  on  Tuesday  at  his  manor  of  Warre- 
Wyke,  county  Gloucester,  and  a  yearly  fair  then  on  Monday  in 
Whitsun  week,  and  two  days  following;  also  free  warren  in  Warre 
Wyk. 

The  inquisition  known  as  Kirby's  Quest,  taken  between 
12  &  18  Edw.  I  (1284-1290),  to  ascertain  what  lands  were  held 
of  the  King  or  anyone  else,  states: 

"Idem  Rogerus  La  Ware  tenet  Wyk."  ' 

"October  9,  1295 — Grant  to  Roger  la  Warre,  tenant  in  chief, 
who  is  going  to  Gascony  on  the  King's  service,  that  in  case  of  his 
dying  on  that  service,  leaving  an  heir  under  age  in  the  king's 
service,  the  executors  of  his  will  shall  hold  the  manors  of  Wyke- 
Warre,  county  Gloucestershire,  and  Brustlyngton,  county  Somerset, 
during  the  minority  of  the  heir,  and  apply  the  revenues  thereof 
in  aid  of  the  marriage  of  his  daughters."

In  the  list  of  Gloucestershire  Pleas  to  the  Crown  taken  at 
Bristol  in  15  Edw.  I  (1287)  it  is  stated  that  John  Stok  fell  from  a 
boat  into  the  Avon  and  was  drowned.  The  boat,  which  was  after- 
wards taken  by  Walter  de  Warrewyche,  was  declared  a  deodand, 
and  was  assessed  at  2s.  7d.' 

An  escheator's  inquisition  taken  in  1321  states  that  Roger 
la  Warre  died  siezed  of  Wyke-warre,  and  held  it  by  the  service 
of  half  a  knight's  fee.^ 

The  book  of  Royal  Aids  levied  in  Gloucestershire  20  Edw. 
Ill  (1346)  states: 

"De  Rogero  le  Warre  et  herede  Rogeri  le  Warre  pro  dimidio 
feofo  Militis  in  Wykewarre  quod  Rogerus  la  Warre  pater  jus 
quondam  tenuit  ibidem  *  *  *  de  Comite  Warwyk  pro  dimidio 
feofo  Militis    in    Wykewarre.'"' 

Sir  Roger  la  Warre  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  in  1355  levied  a 
fine  of  the  manor  and  advowson  of  Wickwar  to  the  use  of  them- 
selves in  tail,  with  remainder  to  John  their  son.  •* 

The  list  of  knight's  fees  in  Glouc.  3  Henry  IV  (1402)  under 
lay  subsidies  states : 

"Item  dicunt,  quod  Comitissa  de  Warrewyk  tenet  de  Domino 
Rege  sine  medio  in  Wykeware  in  eodem  hundredo,  dimidium 
feodum  militis."  ' 

About  1400,  Hawis,  daughter  of  Geffrey  Wickware,  married 
Henry  Ayl worth,  the  progenitor  of  the  noble  family  of  the  name. 
Following  is  the  first  part  of  the  Aylworth  pedigree,  as  given  in  the

Richard  de  Beauchamp,  Earl  of  Warwick  died  in  1437  siezed 
in  right  of  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  and  heiress  of  Thomas 
Lord  Berkeley,  of  various  manors  and  estates  in  Gloucestershire, 
including  Wickwar.  James  son  of  James,  brother  of  Lord  Berke- 
ley, instituted  a  lawsuit  against  his  cousin  Elizabeth  regarding 
the  estate,  which  lasted  192  years.' 

Various  wills  filed  in  1479,  1503  and  1510  in  the  Preroga- 
tive Court  at  Canterbury  refer  to  this  parish  as  Wykeware,  Wyke- 
warre  and  Wyckewarr.^ 

King  Henry  VIII  in  the  24th  year  of  his  reign  (1533),  granted 
to  Lord  de  la  Warre  the  privileges  of  a  weekly  market  and  of 
two  annual  fairs.^     Following  is  a  copy  of  this  patent: 

"The    King   to   Archbishops,    Bishops,    &c.,    GREETING:

John  Leland,  appointed  King's  Antiquarian  in  1534,  traveled 
through  Gloucestershire,  and  made  the  following  notes  regard- 
ing Wickwar : 

"From  Torte worth  to  Wike  Watar,  a  prayte  clothinge  Toun- 
let,  2  myles.     The  Lorde  Delaware  is  chief  Lord  of  it.'" 

The  list  of  recusants  in  Gloucestershire  about  1560  mentions 
the  parish  of  Wickwarre." 

The  Feet  of  Fines  from  30  Elizabeth  to  20  James  I  mentions 
in  1588  the  following: 

"Lord  Lawarre,  def.  of  the  M.  of  Wickwarre,  with  appurts. 
and  30  messauges  &c.,  and  ;^10  rent  in  Wykewarre,  and  the  advow- 
son   of  the   church   of   Wykewarre."' 

The  following  is  taken  from  Rudder's  Gloucestershire: 

"John  earl  of  Gloucester,  brother  to  king  Richard  the  First, 
gave  this  manor  to  John  la  Warre,  and  afterwards  confirmed  it 
to  him  when  he  was  king,  8  Joh.  to  hold  of  that  king  by  the  ser- 
vice of  half  a  knight.  Jordan  la  Warre  was  son  and  hek  to  John. 
He  often  joined  in  rebellion  against  king  John  and  king  Henry 
the  Third;  but  prudently  took  care  to  make  his  peace.  John  la 
Warre  succeeded  Jordan  in  this  manor,  and  was  himself  succeeded 
by  Roger  la  Warre,  who  held  it  9  E.  1.  and  purchased  a  weekly 
market  in  Warre-Wike,  on  Tuesday;  a  yearly  fair  on  Whit-Monday, 
and  the  two  following  days;  and  free  warren  within  the 
manor,  in  the  thirteenth  year  of  the  same  reign;  and  all  these 
privileges  were  allowed  him  in  the  proceedings  on  a  writ  of  Quo 
warranto,  15  E.  1.  He  married  Clarice,  eldest  daughter  and  co- 
heiress of  John  lord  de  Tregoz,  of  Herefordshire,  an  eminent  baion, 
after  whose  death,  this  Roger  la  Warre  had  summons  as  a  baron  to 
parliament,  22  E.  1.  He  died  14  E.  II.  seized  of  the  manors  of 
Wyke-warre  and  Bristlington,  and  the  escheator's  .  inquisition 
found,  that  Wykewarre  was  then  held  of  Thomas  ap  Adam,  son

of  John  ap  Adam,  as  of  the  Manor  of  Castleharpetre,  by  the  ser- 
vice of  half  a  knight's  fee.  John  lord  la  Warre,  son  of  Roger, 
died  21  E.  III.  John  (his  eldest  son  dying  before  him)  was  succeeded 
by  his  grandson  Roger  la  Warre,  who  was  eminent  in  the  reign 
of  king  Edward  the  Third,  whom  he  attended  in  his  wars  in  France; 
and  being  present  at  the  battle  of  Poictiers,  Sept.  19,  1356,  when 
the  French  king  and  his  son,  the  earl  of  Tankerville  sir  Jaques  of 
Bourbon,  the  earls  of  Pouthien  and  Eue,  with  many  other  noblemen, 
were  taken,  he  was  one  of  those  knights  who  challenged  the  French 
king  as  their  prisoner,  and  this  sir  Roger  had  the  crampet,  or 
chape,  of  that  monarch's  sword  assigned  him  for  his  share  in  that 
exploit,  and  he  and  his  family  afterwards  bore  it,  as  an  honour- 
able augmentation,  in  their  armorial  bearings.  He  and  Elizabeth 
his  wife  levied  a  fine  of  the  manor  and  advowson  of  Wickwar  to 
the  use  of  themselves  in  taille,  the  remainder  to  John  his  son,  28 
E.  3.  and  he  died  in  the  forty-fourth  year  of  the  same  reign. 
John  lord  De  la  Warre,  son  of  Roger,  died  without  issue  22  R.  2. 
and  was  succeeded  by  his  brother  Thomas  lord  de  la  Warre, 
rector  of  Manchester,  who  levied  a  fine  of  this  manor  to  the  use 
of  himself  in  taille,  the  remainder  to  Thomas  West  in  taille,  the 
remainder  to  Reginald  West,  son  of  Thomas  West,  12  H.  4.  and 
died  without  issue,  4  H.  6. 

Reginald  West,  son  of  sir  Thomas  West  by  Joan  the  daugh- 
ter and  heiress  of  the  last  Roger  lord  de  la  Warre,  succeeded  to 
this  manor  in  virtue  of  the  above-mentioned  entail  (notwith- 
standing John  Griffin  was  next  heir  male  at  law)  and  had  livery 
of  the  lands  of  his  mother's  inheritance.  Petitioning  the  same  year  to 
have  place  and  precedency  among  the  barons  as  lord  de  la  Warre, 
he  had  summons  to  parliament  accordingly  from  5  to  28  H.  6. 
and  died  in  the  29th  year  of  that  reign,  seized  of  Wyke-Warr, 
leaving  Richard  lord  de  la  Warr,  his  eldest  son  and  heir,  who 
died  16  E.  4.  Thomas  lord  de  la  Warr,  eldest  son  of  Richard, 
bore  several  important  trusts  under  king  Henry  the  Seventh, 
with  whom  he  was  in  great  favour.     He  made  his  will  Oct.  8,

1524,  and  died  soon  thereafter  as  appears  by  the  probat,  which 
bears  date  Feb.  12,  1525.  Thomas  lord  de  la  Warr,  eldest  son  of 
Thomas  by  his  first  wifC;  had  a  grant  of  the  Abbey  of  Whorwell 
in  Hampshire,  which  afterwards  became  the  seat  of  his  family. 
He  died  without  issue,  seized  of  themanor  of  Wickwarre,  andof  the 
advowson  of  the  church,  Sep.  25,  1554. 

William  West,  son  of  sir  George  West,  who  was  brother 
to  the  last-mentioned  Thomas  lord  de  lar  Warr,  was  bred  up  in 
his  uncle's  house  as  his  presumptive  heir,  and  impatient  of  delay, 
attempted  to  dispatch  him  by  poison;  which  being  complained 
of  in  parliament,  2  E.  6.  he  was  disabled  to  succeed  him  in  honour 
and  estate,  and  had  only  an  allowance  of  350  1.  a  year.  But  be- 
having with  distinguished  valour  in  the  English  Army  at  the 
siege  of  St.  Quintin,  in  1557,  and  carrying  himself  well  for  several 
years  afterwards,  he  received  the  honour  of  knighthood  at  Ham- 
ton-court,  Feb.  5,  1568;  and  obtained  new  creation  to  the  title 
of  lord  de  la  Warr,  and  by  the  act  of  parliament,  which  passed  on 
the  12th  of  March  following,  had  full  restitution  in  blood,  and 
became  possessed  of  this  manor.  He  died  38  Eliz.  and  was  suc- 
ceeded by  his  son  Thomas  lord  de  la  Warr,  who,  by  petition  to 
the  Queen  in  parliament,  was  restored  to  the  precedency  of  his 
ancestors,  39  Eliz.,  and  dying  in  the  44th  year  of  that  reign,  left 
Thomas  lord  de  la  Warr,  his  son  and  heir.  This  lord  was  consti- 
tuted captain-general  of  the  colonies  planting  in  Virginia,  whither 
he  went  with  three  ships,  in  1609,  and  was  very  active  in  forming 
settlements  and  making  discoveries;  whereby  his  health  was 
greatly  impaired,  and  he  died  at  sea,  in  his  return  home,  June 
7,  1618." 

John  Fiske,  in  Old  Virginia  and  Her  Neighbors,  vol.  I,  p.  146, 
says: 

"This  Lord  Delaware  belonged  to  a  family  distinguished  for 
public  service.  On  his  mother's  side  he  was  nearly  related  to 
Queen  Elizabeth.  In  America  he  is  forever  identified  with  the 
history  of  Virginia,   and  he  has  left  a  name  to  one  of  our  great

rivers,  to  a  very  interesting  group  of  Indians,  and  to  one  of  the 
smallest  states  in  our  Union.  With  New  England,  too,  he  has  one 
link  of  association;  for  his  sister  Penelope  West  married  Herbert 
Pelham,  and  their  son  was  the  first  treasurer  of  Harvard  College. 
Thomas  West,  born  in  1577,  was  educated  at  Oxford,  served  with 
distinction  in  the  Netherlands,  and  was  knighted  for  bravery  in 
1599.  He  succeeded  to  the  barony  of  Delaware  in  1602,  and  was  a 
member  of  the  Privy  Council  of  Elizabeth  and  James  I.  No  one 
was  more  warmly  enlisted  than  he  in  the  project  of  founding 
Protestant  English  colonies  in  the  New  World.  To  this  cause  he 
devoted  himself  with  ever  growing  enthusiasm,  and  when  the  Lon- 
don Company  was  remodeled  he  was  appointed  governor  of  Vir- 
ginia for  life." 

After  the  death  of  Thomas  Lord  de  la  Warre,  Governor  of 
Virginia,  the  manor  of  Wickwar  was  purchased  by  Sir  Robert 
Ducie,  and  descended  to  his  heirs.

Ebe  iparisb  of  Mickwar, 


^tKHE  parish  was  established  as  early  as  1290.     The  advowson 
^w^    of  the  church  belonged  to  the  Warre  family. 

The  church  of  St.  Thomas,  anciently  called  Holy  Trinity, 
is  a  restored  structure  of  early  English  style.  It  has  a  south 
aisle,  altar  of  St.  Lawrence,  martyr,  and  Lady  Chapel.  The 
structure  bears  the  marks  of  great  antiquity  but  is  well  preserved. 
The  mouldings  and  pinnacles  of  the  lofty,  embattled  tower  are 
sharp  and  clear.  The  tower  has  four  niches,  now  empty,  but  once 
containing  the  patron  saints  of  the  church — St.  Mary,  St.  Law- 
rence, St.  Peter,  and  St.  Thomas  of  Canterbury.  The  tower  has 
six  bells  which  were  recast  in  1693. 

The  following  architectural  description  was  written  in  1854: 
"This  church  has  a  nave  and  chancel,  each  with  a  north  aisle, 
a  western  tower  and  south  porch.  The  nave  and  chancel  are 
chiefly  Decorated,  but  the  south  aisle  of  the  nave  is  embattled 
and  has  square-headed  Perpendicular  windows  of  two  lights  and 
labels.  The  south  porch  is  also  embattled  and  of  Perpendicular 
character.  The  chancel  has  a  roof  of  stone  tiles  and  no  parapet. 
Its  windows  are  chiefly  plain  and  of  two  lights  without  foliation. 
The  east  window  has  three  lights  and  of  the  same  kind.  The 
east  window  of  the  aisle  has  three  lights  cinquef oiled,  without 
tracery,  perhaps  late.  On  the  north  side  of  the  nave  are  some 
decorated  windows  of  two  lights  and  fair  character.  There  is  no 
battlement  on  this  side,  nor  door.  The  arcade  of  the  nave  is 
probably    Decorated,    consisting   of    three    wide    Pointed    arches, 

-33- 


running  into  square  piers  without  capitals.  There  is  a  small  projec- 
tion on  the  south  side  of  the  nave  lighted  by  slits,  probably  for  the 
rood  stairs.  The  tower  is  the  finest  feature  of  the  church,  and  is 
good  Perpendicular,  of  excellent  masonry,  of  three  stages  of 
corner  buttresses  and  embattled,  having  twelve  pinnacles  set 
diagonally  of  different  sizes.  There  is  an  octagonal  turret  at  the 
northeast  rising  to  the  top  and  panelled.  The  belfry  windows 
are  very  fine,  long,  and  of  two  lights  with  transoms  and  stone 
lattice  work,  and  there  are  crocketed  pinnacles  on  each  stage  of  the 
buttresses.  The  west  window  is  of  four  lights,  the  door  labled, 
and  with  foliated  spandrels.  In  the  second  stage  are  canopied 
niches. 

The  chancel  arch  is  continuous  and  wide.  The  arch  between 
the  chancel  and  the  north  chapel  is  an  odd  one,  also  continuous, 
but  unusually  deep  in  the  soffit.  It  seems  as  if  it  had  been  con- 
nected with  a  tomb.  The  south  porch  has  good  panelled  battle- 
ment and  continuous  doorways.  Near  the  church  on  the  south 
side  is  a  ruined  building  of  good  Perpendicular  domestic  charac- 
ter, with  labeled  windows  and  an  inscription  with  date  1426  and 
a  figure  of  St.  John  the  Baptist." 

Following  is  a  list  of  the  incumbents  of  the  church  from 
1290  to  1479: 

1290 — Robert  de  London,  clerk  and  subdeacon,  on  presentation 
of  Sir  Roger  de  la  Warre,  Knt. 

1326 — ^John  de  la  Feld,  clerk,  of  the   Church  of  Wykewarre,   pre- 
sented by  Sir  John  la  Warre,  Knt. 

1370 — William  Draper,  priest;  presented  by  Sir  John  W^arre,  Knt. 

1430 — Sir   Richard   Leventhorpp,   by  exchange  with  John  Vale, 
incumbent    of    Wykwarr. 

1461 — Sir  John  Wade,  to  the  parish  church  of  Wikewarr. 

1464 — Sir  Thomas  Mede,   Chaplain. 

1479 — Master  Robert  Wodeward,  bachelor  in  laws. 

Thomas  Test,  or  Teste,  was  Chaplain  at  Wickwar  in   1513. 

-34- 


"1515 — Feb.  or  Mar.  18,  George  West,  clerk,  instituted  to 
the  parish  church  of  Wykwar,  vacant  by  the  death  of  the  last 
incumbent;  presented  by  lord  de  Lawarre."

In  the  church  is  the  following  described  sacramental  plate: 
a  silver  chalice,  with  cover;  a  silver  paten,  on  which  is  inscribed: 
"Wickwarre,  Gloustershire;"  a  silver  flagon  with  the  inscription: 
"Wlckwarre,  Ex.  dono  Johannes  Biddle,  Rect.  1730;"  also  a  sil- 
ver plate,  bearing  date  1743,  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Jane  Purnell. 

The  church  registers  of  baptisms,  marriages  and  burials 
do  not  begin  until  1689.  Apparently,  at  that  time  no  persons 
named  Wickwarr  were  living  in  the  parish,  but  numerous  entries 
both  prior  and  subsequent,  are  found  in  several  neighboring 
parishes,  as  will  be  noted  in  the  following  chapter.

Arms  of  the  Town  of  Wickwar. 


Cbaptcr  D. 

^be  ZTown  of  MtcJ^war, 


'^tKHE  town  of  Wickwarre,  or  Wickwar  as  it  is  now  written, 
^^  lies  in  the  parish  of  Wickwar,  in  the  hundred  of  Grumbald's 
Ash,  five  miles  southwest  from  Wotton-Under-Edge,  four  north 
from  Chipping  Sodbury,  and  about  twenty-six  south  from  Glouces- 
ter. It  is  situated  on  the  best  road  from  Bath  to  Gloucester.  The 
surrounding  scenery  is  highly  picturesque.  In  the  distance  lie 
the  celebrated  Cotswold  Hills.  The  town's  privileges  of  a  weekly 
market  and  a  yearly  fair  were  first  granted  in  the  reign  of  Edward 
the  First.  Henry  the  Eighth  in  the  24th  year  of  his  reign  also 
granted  to  Lord  La  Warre  the  like  privileges  of  a  weekly  market 
and  of  two  annual  fairs.  This  grant  was  confirmed  by  Charles 
the  First  by  an  inspeximus  dated  July  4,  1629.  Rudder  says 
that  this  inspeximus  is  kept  by  the  mayor,  as  a  charter  of  incor- 
poration, "for  the  town  is  a  borough  by  prescription,  like  Wotton 
and  Berkeley,  with  a  mayor  and  twelve  aldermen,  who  have  the 
mace  carried  before  them  on  particular  days.  The  profits  of  the 
market  and  fairs  belong  to  the  mayor,  and  such  as  have  served 
that  office  are  deemed  aldermen." 

The  following  is  taken  from  a  chapter  on  Wickwar  in  "Famous 
Places  in  the  West,"  as  published  in  the  Bristol  Observer,  Aug.  31, 
1889. 

"Wickwar  and  the  villages  that  surround  it  are  rich  in  anti- 
quarian treasures  and  records,  many  of  which  have  been  brought 
to  light  by  the  county  historians.  Not  the  least  interesting  of 
the  antiquities  is  the  estate  of  the  last  Lord   Delawarr.     A  writer 

-37- 


has  said —  'Any  man,  who  lived  at  the  time  of  the  Hterary 
awakening  in  the  15th  century,  conspicuous  at  once  for 
his  love  of  education  and  letters,  for  his  benevolence  and  for  his 
piety,  deserves  that  his  name,  for  a  while  forgotten,  should  be 
rescued  from  oblivion,  especially  if  we  add  to  these  marks  of 
distinction  the  fact  that  the  man  was  of  an  ancient  and  noble 
family;  that  he  was  a  peer  of  the  realm,  and  a  good  priest  of  the 
holy  church.  These  qualities  and  claims  to  our  notice  had  Lord 
Thomas  Delawarr,  the  last  in  the  direct  line  of  a  family  which 
possibly  dates  from  the  Conquest,  and  whose  title  of  De  la  Warre, 
is  certainly  as  old  as  Edward  II  of  England,  1326.'  In  1422 
Henry  VI  came  to  the  throne,  and  with  him  there  came  an  edu- 
cational awakening,  and  no  inconsiderable  advance  towards  light 
letters  and  culture;  which  movement  towards  that  end  was  seen 
in  the  foundation  of  Eton  College,  and  many  others.  Amongst 
them,  at  this  tim.e.  Lord  Thomas  Delawarr  had  built  and  endowed 
the  collegiate  school  and  church  of  St.  Mary,  Manchester,  he 
being  in  priest's  orders  and  rector  of  the  place.  At  the  death  of 
his  brother,  John,  Earl  Delawarr,  without  issue,  he  was  summoned 
to  Parliament  among  the  Lords  temporal  by  the  name  of  Magis- 
ter  Thomas  Delawarr.  As  his  brother  John  died  'seized  of  the 
manor  of  Wickwar,  in  Gloucestershire,  and  of  Brislington,  with 
St.  Anne's  in  the  Wood,  Somerset,'  his  history  is  connected  with 
the  old-fashioned  town  to  which  we  are  drawing  attention.  There 
is  ample  evidence  in  Domesday  Book  that  this  notable  family 
can  be  traced  back  to  a  remote  period,  and  as  to  their  place  in 
Gloucestershire,  Wickwar — lying  between  Yate  and  Charfield — 
a  writer  has  remarked —  'one  can  hardly  imagine  a  more  primi- 
tive or  pleasant  townlet.'  With  its  one  street,  Grammar  School, 
and  Town  House,  it  was  once  a  more  considerable  place,  having 
rich  clothiers,  merchants,  mayor  and  town  councilors.  Among 
them  was  a  principal  benefactor,  who  built  the  church  dedicated 
to  the  Virgin  Mary.

Road  to  the  Downs,  Wickwar. 


Eventually  one  of  the  townsmen,  a  wealthy  clothier,  built  a 
house  at  the  pool  near  the  church,  which  was  called  Pool  House. 
The  Midland  Railway  cut  through  this,  and  in  pulling  down  the 
house,  which  evidently  was  of  a  religious  character,  they  dis- 
placed a  figure  of  St.  John  the  Baptist,  which  stood  pointing  from 
the  east  end  of  the  building,  with  his  left  hand  extended  towards 
the  church;  over  whose  head  there  is  an  inscription,  legible  to 
this  day.  This  figure  is  now  built  into  the  east  wall  of  the  modern 
school  house.  There  is  also  a  grammar  school  over  whose  portal 
is  read  the  old  Benedictine  distych,  taken  from  the  doorway  of 
Winchester  College,  which  can  be  interpreted,  'Take  notice,  you 
boys.  Learn  or  go  about  your  business.'  The  monks  added  a 
proviso  which  a  more  genial  age  has  not  inforced —  'Learn  or 
leave  us,  unless  you  Hke  the  third  condition,  viz.,  to  be  well 
flogged.'  The  story  of  this  grammar  school  and  its  foundation 
reads  like  a  fascinating  history.  Wickwar  has  a  strong  claim  to  be 
considered  a  very  ancient  town,  as  is  evidenced  by  the  old  Roman 
bridge,  which  presents  many  attractions  for  the  archaeologist. 

The  Town  Hall  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  of  the  local 
buildings.  There  is  an  utter  absence  of  ornament;  but  if  plain,  it 
looks  durable,  and  for  some  generations  to  come  will  no  doubt 
amply  serve  the  inhabitants  for  public  purposes.  The  gates  to 
be  seen  at  the  entrance  to  the  lower  story  of  the  building  suggest 
that  it  was  once  the  market  house,  the  Town  Hall,  strictly  speaking, 
being  the  upper  portion.  Weekly  markets  were  first  granted  to 
the  town  in  the  reign  of  Edward  L  The  church  of  St.  Thomas, 
anciently  called  Holy  Trinity,  to  which  allusion  has  already  been 
made,  is  a  building  of  stone  in  the  early  English  style,  and  its 
lofty,  embattled  tower  contains  six  bells,  which  were  recast  in 
1693.  The  organ  was  erected  by  public  subscription  in  1856. 
The  communion  plate  dates  from  1730,  and  the  register  from  1689. 
Other  features  of  interest  in  and  about  Wickwar  serve  to  present 
glimpses  of  the  distant  past.

It  will  be  seen  from  the  foregoing  that  Wickware  has  been  the 
form  in  most  general  use  for  the  past  six  centuries.  This  is  the 
form  that  appears  upon  the  New  London,  Conn.,  records  for  at 
least  thirty-five  years  after  John  Wickware  settled  there,  in  1675. 
Wickwire  is  a  variation  apparently  first  devised  in  1712  by  the 
clerk  of  the  Probate  Court,  when  the  will  of  John  Wickware  was 
offered  for  probate.  Some  branches  have  accepted  and  adhered 
to  this  corrupted  form,  while  others  still  retain  the  correct  spelling. 

Throughout  this  book  an  asterisk  (*)  placed  at  the  head  of 
a  family  indicates  that  the  spelling  "Wickwire"  is  commonly  used; 
but  as  some  changes  are  being  occasionally  made  by  members  of 
the  family,  no  effort  has  been  made  to  indicate  the  spelling  beyond 
the  sixth  American  generation.

Zbc  learli?  lenglieb  family  of  Mtcftwarre* 


^AVING  traced  the  history  of  the  Manor,  Parish  and  Town 
of    Wickware,  or  Wick  war,  it  remains  to  set  forth  the  his- 
tory of  Wickware  as  a  surname. 

At  the  time  of  the  Conquest,  1066,  surnames  were  not  in  com- 
mon use  among  the  Britons,  and  the  practice  of  using  surnames 
was  not  fully  estabHshed  for  a  century  of  two  afterwards.  And 
it  was  much  later  that  many  surnames  attained  their  final  forms. 

The  definite,  connected  history  of  the  surname  Wickware 
begins  about  1500,  though  earlier  traces  have  been  discovered. 

Doubtless  further  researches  that  may  hereafter  be  con- 
ducted in  England  will  serve  to  shed  additional  light  upon  the 
earlier  generations  of  the  family. 

It  seems  probable  that  a  branch  of  the  Warre  family,  re- 
siding at  or  near  the  manor  of  Wick,  or  Wick- Warre,  assumed 
that  name  to  distinguish  themselves  from  the  main  branch  of  the 
family  which,  after  a  few  generations,  had  their  principal  seat,  not 
at  Wick,  but  in  Sussex  county. 

In  the  first  half  of  the  16th  century  two  brothers,  John  and 
Thomas  Wickwarre,  were  living  at  Calne,  in  Wiltshire,  about 
-thirty  miles  southeast  of  Wickwar.  Thomas  Wickwarre,  who 
was  probably  their  father,  was  buried  at  Calne,  21  Jan.  1568. 
Jane  Wickwarre,  buried  at  Calne  7  Oct.  1559,  may  have  been  the 
wife  of  Thomas,  Sr. 

In  the  earliest  entries  the  name  is  spelled  Wyckwarre,  Wyck- 
warr,  Wyckware,  Wickwarre,  Wickwarr  and  Wickware.  In  a 
considerable  number  of  entries  in  the  latter  half  of  the  century

the  name  is  written  "Wickwarr  alias  Clarke,"  or  "Clarke  alias  Wick- 
warr."  This  use  of  a  double  surname  was  quite  common  at  that 
time,  being  somewhat  analogous  to  the  more  modem  hyphen- 
ated surname.  It  is  probable  that  a  marriage  took  place  between 
a  member  of  the  Wickwarr  family  and  a  member  of  the  Clarke 
family,  and  that  both  names  were  thereafter  used,  in  order  to 
preserve  the  right  to  an  inheritance,  or  for  some  similar  reason. 

The  arms  of  the  Clarke  family  of  Gloucestershire  were: 
Argent,  on  a  bend  sable  a  cross  crosslet  fitchy,  or.  The  crest  of 
the  family  in  this  county  was:  out  of  a  ducal  coronet,  or,  a  demi- 
lion  ppr.  (Fairbairne's  Crests).  Another  branch  of  the  Clarke  fam- 
ily had  for  crest  a  demi-grif!in  ducally  gorged. 

The  similarity  of  the  elements  of  these  insignia  with  those 
of  the  Warre  family — the  cross  crosslet,  ducal  coronet,  lion  and 
griffin  appearing  in  each  family — suggests  the  probability  of  some 
relationship  between  the  two  families.  And  this  is  strengthened 
by  the  records  referred  to  above  wherein  the  name  is  written 
"Clarke  alias  Wick-warre." 

Some  years  ago  an  inquiry  was  sent  by  a  member  of  the  fam- 
ily in  Canada  to  the  Heraldry  Office  in  London  as  to  the  Crest  of 
the  family,  and  the  following  is  a  copy  of  the  information  fur- 
nished by  the  Heraldry  Ofifice : 

"CREST    OF    WICKWAR    OR    WYKWARRE. 

A  Griffin's  head  out  of  coronet,  in  beak  a  fleur-de-lis. 

The  name  is  taken  from  Wickwar  in  Gloucestershire  and  is 
a  most  ancient  family,  dating  as  far  back  as  the  Conqueror,  whose 
Queen  presented  the  hamlet  of  Wickwar  to  her  Chamberlain  and 
named  it  after  him  for  his  faithful  services. 

For  further  particulars  see  'Atkyn's  History  of  Gloucester- 
shire.' "

John'  Wickwarr,  above  referred  to  (apparently  son  of 
Thomas'),    was    born  about   1525,    and    resided  at  Calne.      He 

-46- 


married  about  1550  Alice  Thornnell,  daughter  of  Thomas  Thorn- 
nell  (or  Thornhill),  esquire,  of  Thornhulle.        j.- 

Burke's  Landed  Gentry  states:  "The  family  of  Thornnell 
descends  from  a  branch  of  the  Thornhills  of  County  York,  one  of 
the  most  ancient  famihes  in  that  part  of  England.  The  pedigree 
deduces  the  descent  from  Gerneber,  a  nsSfole  Saxon,  who,  it  is  there- 
in recorded,  possessed  before  the  Conquest,  large  tracts  of  land 
in  County  York  that  descended  to  his  heirs." 

The  arms  of  the  Dorset  branch  of  the  Thornnell  family  are: 
Argent,   a   chevron  gules  between  three  blackbirds  proper, 
legged    and    beaked,    or. 

Following  is  the  pedigree  of  the  Dorset  and  Wiltshire  Thornell 
or  Thornhull  family:  (Hutchins,  Hist.  Dorset,  vol.  4,  p.  417.)

In  addition  to  the  foregoing  account  a  number  of  items  of 
information  not  definitely  connected  have  been  secured,  showing 
traces  of  the  family  in  other  towns  in  the  same  vicinity. 

In  1596,  Margery  Wickwarr,  of  Cheltenham,  Glouc,  widow  of 
Richard  Wickwarr,  deceased,  brought  a  suit  in  chancery  at  Glou- 
cester against  Simon  Spier  for  the  recovery  of  a  messuage  in  the 
parish  of  Cheltenham,  and  "diverse  lands,  meadows,  pastures  and 
grounds  thereto  belonging."  late  the  estate  of  Richard  Wickwarr.' 

In  the  Gloucestershire  list  of  men  fit  to  bear  arms  in  1608 
is  mentioned  John  Wickwarre,  of  Packenhill.  Packenhill,  or  Pagan 
Hull,  is  in  the  southwest  part  of  the  parish  of  Stroud. 

The  following  entries  are  taken  from  the  parish  register  of 
Tetbury: 

Eleanor  Wickwar,  daughter  of  Hinde  Wickwar,  bapt.  24  May, 
1629. 

Joan  Wickware,  baptized  26  June,  1630. 

Hind  Wickwarre  married  Joan  Baily  16  Oct.  1649. 

Joan  Wickware,  baptized  26  Dec.   1650. 

Jonathan  Scren  married  Mary  Wickware,  11  Apr.  1658. 

Hind  Wickwar  died  6  Oct.  1663. 

William  Wicks  married  Elizabeth  Wickwar,  10  Oct.  1664. 

The  register  of  St.  Helen's,  Bishopgate,  London,  shows  that 
John  Wickwarre  of  Martin's,  Ludgate  married  Elizabeth  Marson  2 
Feb.  1659. 

The  records  thus  far  discovered  reveal  the  surname  Wickwarr 
in  the  following  parishes  prior  to  the  year  1700 :  Calne  and  Crick- 
lade  in  Wiltshire;  Wotton-Under-Edge,  Berkeley,  Tortworth, 
Cheltenham,  Stroud  and  Tetbury  in  Gloucestershire;  and  London, 
in  Middlesex.  The  accompanying  map  shows  the  relative  situa- 
tion of  these  places  in  Wiltshire  and  Gloucestershire,  and  their 
proximity  to  Wickwar. 


(1)   Chancery  Proceedings,  Reign  of  Elizabeth,  vol.  Ill,  p.  251. 

-58- 


Diligent  search  has  been  made  for  additional  records,  but 
none  showing  the  family  in  any  other  parish  have  been  revealed. 
In  all  the  entries  there  is  only  one  John  Wickwarr,  namely  John 
Wickwarr,  baptized  18  May,  1656,  son  of  John  of  Wotton-Under- 
Edge,  whose  age  corresponds  with  the  supposed  age  of  John  of 
New  London.  His  father  having  died  when  he  was  less  than  a 
year  old,  the  lack  of  this  paternal  tie  may  have  been  a  factor  in  his 
determination,  when  he  grew  up,  to  seek  his  fortune  in  the  new 
world. 

It  is  of  course  possible  that  future  investigations  may  reveal 
some  additional  records  shedding  light  upon  the  parentage  of 
John  Wickware  of  New  London. 

The  family  is  said  to  be  now  almost  extinct  in  England.  The 
firm  of  Wickwar  and  Company,  manufacturing  stationers  to  His 
Majesty's  Stationery  Office,  carry  on  business  at  98  Jermyn  Street, 
in  London.  Prior  to  1800  Thomas  Wickwar  had  large  paper  mills 
at  Newbury,  in  Berkshire,  England.  He  married  Hannah 
Stephens  28  Sept.  1788.  He  died  in  1811  or  1812,  and  had  four 
sons  and  one  daughter.  The  eldest  son  Thomas  went  to  Jamaica 
and  died  there  or  in  America;  John,  another  son,  was  a  manufactur- 
ing stationer,  and  established  the  business  of  Wickwar  and  Com- 
pany, formerly  at  6  Poland  Street,  now  at  98  Jermyn  Street;  Francis, 
a  third  son,  married  Sabrina  Lucas,  9  Jan.  1819,  at  London,  and 
left  a  daughter  Mary  Agnes,  who  married  Mr.  Spain,  and  she  in- 
herited the  business  from  her  uncle  John.  She  has  a  son,  Arthur 
Spain,  Esq.,  who  now  carries  on  the  business.

3obn  Mtcf^ware,  of  1Rcw  Xont)on,  Connecticut, 
an^  Mi0  Descendants. 

fOHN  Wickware,'  the  ancestor  of  the  American  family  of 
Wick  ware  and  Wick  wire,  settled  at  New  London,  Connec- 
ticut, in  1675.  He  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  son  of  John 
and  Mary  Wickware,  of  Wotton-Under-Edge,  England,  baptized 
18  May,  1656. 

He  was  a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  War,  and  was  engaged  in 
the  Great  Swamp  Fight,  December  19,  1675,  when  the  powder  of 
the  Narragansetts  was  broken.  For  his  service  in  this  war  he 
afterwards  received  from  the  General  Court  a  grant  of  140  acres  of 
land  in  Voluntown.  (Bodge,  Soldiers  of  King  Philip's  War,  pp. 
442,  445.) 

His  name  appears  on  the  list  of  residents  of  New  London  in 
1676. 

He  settled  in  the  North  Parish  of  New  London,  (now  known 
as  Montville). 

On  Nov.  6,  1676,  he  married  Mary  Tonge,  daughter  of  George 
and  Margery  Tonge. 

George  Tonge  was  an  early  settler  at  New  London,  and  in 
165  6  the  general  town  meeting  chose  him  to  keep  an  inn  for  five 
years.  In  those  times  only  trustworthy  citizens  were  accorded 
this  privilege.  In  the  same  year  he  purchased  a  house  and  lot 
on  the  Thames  river,  "and  here  he  opened  the  house  of  entertain- 
ment which  he  kept  during  his  life,  and  which,  being  continued 
by  his  family,  was  the  most  noted  inn  of  the  town  for  60  years."  ' 


(1)     See  Caulkins'  Hist,  of  New  London,  289. 

-63- 


George  Tonge  and  Margery  his  wife  had  three  daughters, 
namely:  EHzabeth,  born  Oct.  20,  1652,  who  married  Gov.  Fitz 
John  Winthrop;  Hannah,  born  July  20,  1654,  who  married  Joshua 
Baker  (see  Bakers  History  of  Montville,  pp.  153  to  175) ;  and  Mary, 
bom  Sept.  17,  1656,  who  married  John  Wickware. 

On  December  14,  1663,  a  tract  of  200  acres  of  land  in  the 
North  Parish  was  granted  by  the  proprietors  of  New  London  to 
George  Tonge  (3  New  London  Deeds,  14,  15;  see  appendix  D).  He 
received  also  other  grants.     He  died  about  1670.' 

On  May  7,  1670,  Margery  Tonge,  as  administratrix,  transferred 
to  Joshua  Baker,  her  son-in-law,  a  dwelling  house  originally 
acquired  of  Thomas  Stanton,  (vol.  5,  p.  34). 

Richard  Poole,  an  early  settler  at  New  London,  received  a 
grant  of  100  acres  in  the  North  Parish,  adjoining  the  200  acres  of 
George  Tonge,  and  dying  in  1662  left  it  by  his  will,  dated  April 
25,   1662,  to  Margery  Tonge  and  her  children. 

George  Tonge  had  also  acquired  a  tract  of  40  acres  in  the 
North  Parish,  originally  granted  to  Thomas  Stafford. 

On  July  20,  1689,  the  estate  not  having  been  divided,  Margery 
Tonge  granted  to  Joshua  Baker  full  leave  to  go  upon  and  use  the 
farm,  including  her  interest  in  the  Poole  tract.     (5-131) 

On  Mar.  11,  1690,  Margery  Tonge,  "in  consideration  of  great 
love  and  affection  to  my  loving  grandchild,  George  Wickware,  the 
son  of  John  Wickware  and  Mary  his  wife,  my  daughter,"  granted 
one-half  of  all  her  right  in  "the  farm  that  was  on  the  land  of 
Richard  Poole."      (5-140) 

On  Sept.  17,  1692,  commissioners  appointed  by  the  court  to 
divide  the  estate  of  George  Tonge  executed  an  instrument  appor- 
tioning a  part  of  it  as  follows:  "That  hundred  acres  of  Poole's, 
the  middle  part  for  Elizabeth  Tonge,  that  end  next  the  Coave  to 
Hannah  Baker,  and  the  west  end  to  Mary  Wickware ;  that  which 
was  Thomas  Stafford's  the  middle  part  to  Elizabeth,  the  souther- 
most  part  to  Mary  Wickware  next  her  own,  and  the  northermost 

(1)     For  further  details  regarding  the  Tonge  family,  see  Appendix  C. 

-64- 


part  to  Hannah  Baker ;  and  the  two  hundred  acres  originally  George 
Tonge's,  the  eastermost  part  of  it  to  Hannah  Baker,  the  middle 
to  Elizabeth  Tonge,  and  the  western  end  to  Mary  Wickware ;  *  *  * 
the  other  estate  we  have  not  yet  settled."     (5-149) 

On  Aug.  14,  1694,  Elizabeth  transferred  to  Joshua  Baker  all 
her  interest  in  the  Stafford  and  Poole  tracts,  and  in  return  appears 
to  have  acquired  Hannah's  interest  in  the  tavern  property.  (5-197) 
Caulkins  states  (p.  289-90)  that  Madam  Winthrop  inherited  the 
inn. 

As  stated  above,  Elizabeth  Tonge  married  Fitz  John  Winthrop, 
Governor  of  Connecticut  from  1698  till  his  death  in  1707.  They 
had  only  one  child,  Mary,  who  married  Col.  John  Livingston,  one 
of  the  executors  of  John  Wickware's  will.  After  the  death  of 
Gov.  Winthrop,  in  1707,  Elizabeth  resided  at  the  inn.  She  died 
April  25,  1731.  Her  will,  dated  Dec.  2,  1730,  makes  several  specific 
bequests,  and  contains  the  following  residuary  clause:  "Item. 
My  will  is  that  the  residue  of  my  estate  not  before  disposed  of  be 
divided  according  to  the  discretion  of  my  executors  between  the 
two  daughters  of  sister  Wickware." 

John  Wickware  was  one  of  the  77  patentees  of  New  London, 
named  in  the  patent  granted  by  Gov.  Winthrop,  Oct.   14,  1704. 

By  deed  dated  June  30,  1708,  he  and  Mary  his  wife  granted 
to  Rene  Grignon  the  tract  of  land  in  Voluntown  received  for  his 
service  in  the  Indian  War. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  he  owned  several  tracts  of  land  be- 
sides the  homestead,  and  his  estate  was  appraised  at  over  300  pounds 
— a  considerable  sum  for  those  times.  He  died  in  March  or  April, 
1712,  as  appears  by  Hempstead's  Diary.  By  his  will  he  named 
his  wife  Mary  Wickware,  James  Harris,  Jr.,  and  Col.  John  Livings- 
ton as  his  executors.  He  left  his  entire  estate  to  his  wife  "dur- 
ing her  natural  life  and  at  her  death  then  the  said  estate  is  to  go 
to  my  children." 

Following  is  a  copy  of  his  will :

Mrs.  Mary  Wickwire  widow  and  Relict  of  Mr.  John  Wickwire, 
late  of  New  London,  deceased,  appeared  in  a  Court  of  Probate 
held  in  New  London,  June  the  16th  1712,  and  made  Solemn  Oath 
that  shee  gave  in  unto  the  aprizers  a  true  account  of  the  Estate 
of  her  deceased  husband  Mr.  John  Wickwire  according  to  the  best 
of  her  knowledge  and  if  any  thing  further  appear  to  be  his  Estate, 
that  is  considerable,  it  shall  be  added  to  this  Inventory. 

Test.     George  Denison,  Cler." 

Some  inferences  may  be  drawn  from  this  inventory.  The 
bible  suggests  the  religious  spirit  of  that  age.  The  "7  books"  in- 
dicate that  John  Wickware  was  an  educated  man,  and  in  view  of  the 

-69- 


scarcity  of  books,  and  the  fact  that  the  first  printing  press  in  Con- 
necticut was  set  up  in  1709,  it  is  not  strange  that  he  did  not 
possess  more  books.  The  flint-lock  gun,  bayonet,  "catoos  box," 
ammunition  and  rapier,  are  graphic  reminders  of  the  Indian  War 
in  which  he  bore  his  part,  and  of  the  dangers  which  beset  the 
lives  of  the  primitive  pilgrims.  The  use  of  the  word  "Mr."  before 
his  name,  in  the  clerk's  certificate,  indicates  his  social  position, 
as  in  those  days  that  title  was  applied  only  to  men  of  social  rank. 
Pursuant  to  the  testator's  wish,  expressed  in  the  will,  Mary 
Wickware  made  various  conveyances  to  her  children  of  portions 
of  the  estate. 

Children  of  John   and  Mary  (Tonge)    Wickware: 
I.     George,  b.  Oct.  4,  1677;  nothing  further  is  know  of  him, 
except  that  he  received  from  his  grandmother  the  trans- 
fer above  mentioned,  dated  May  11,  1690.

IV.  Elizabeth,  b.  Mar.  23,  1688-9;  m.  at  New  London 
Sept.  9,  1708,  Jonas  Hamilton,  b.  about  1678,  son  of 
David  Hamilton,  a  Scotchman  of  Berwick,  Maine,  who 
was  killed  by  the  Indians  Sept.  28,  1691.  He  and  his 
wife  were  bapt.  at  N.  L.  June  25,  1710.  He  joined  the 
church  at  New  London,  Oct.  8,  1738.  In  1748  Jonas 
Hamilton  was  described  in  a  petition  to  the  General 
Court  at  a  member  of  the  church  in  the  parish  of  New 
Salem.  In  1746,  he  signed  his  name  as  a  witness  to 
the  will  of  his  brother-in-law,  Christopher  Wickware. 
The  Probate  Journals  describe  him  as  of  Colchester 
in  1747.  The  births  of  his  children  are  all  recorded  at 
New  London.

CHRISTOPHER*  (John'),  b.  Jan.  8,  1679-80;  married  Eliza- 
beth   ,  resided  at  the  North  Parish  of  New  London,  now  known 

as  Montville;  and  later  removed  to  Lyme.     On  Sept.  21,  1724,  he 

'-71- 


and  his  children  Ichabod,  Solomon,  Nathan,  Elizabeth,  Ann  and 
Mary,  were  baptized  by  Rev.  James  Hillhouse,  pastor  of  the 
Second  Congregational  Church,  at  the  North  Parish.  His  son 
James  was  baptized  by  the  same  clergyman  on  Oct.  23,  1726, 
and  his  son  Zebediah  on  Mar.  22,  1729-30. 

On  Jan.  16,  1716-17.  he  conveyed  to  Lt.  Col.  John  Livingston 
a  tract  of  land  at  New  London  for  118;^.  The  deed  was  acknowl- 
edged at  Norwich.  One  of  the  points  described  in  the  deed  is  "a 
cellar  that  John  Wickwere  built."  On  June  25,  1731,  he  trans- 
ferred to  John  Viber  certain  land  at  the  North  Parish.  One  of  the 
calls  in  the  deed  is  "a  place  where  John  Wickwire  built  a  cellar.' 
The  testimonium  clause  reads  as  follows:  "In  witness  whereof  the 
said  Christopher  Wickwerr  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  in  token  that 
she  resigns  all  her  right  of  thirds  in  the  granted  premises  have 
hereunto  set  their  hands  and  seals  the  16th  day  of  January  1716-17 
in  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of  King  George  the  Second."  On 
Sept.  26,  1733,  he  transferred  to  John  Rogers,  Jr.,  for  12;^  a  one- 
third  part  of  a  whole  right  in  the  common  "which  was  allowed  by 
the  proprietors  of  New  London  unto  my  Hon'd.  Father  Mr.  John 
Wickwere,  deceased."  On  Sept.  27,  1734,  he  conveyed  to  "Johna- 
than  Wickwere  of  Norwich,"  for  30;^,  32  acres  of  land  on  Pole's 
Hill,  lately  belonging  to  Mrs.  Livingston,  and  bounded  on  the 
home  as  laid  out  "unto  the  heirs  of  my  Hon'd.  Father  John  Wick- 
w^ere,  formerly  of  New  London,  deed.,  on  account  of  his  division 
in  the  outside  Common  and  inside  on  Gray  Commons,  as  the  same 
is  entered  in  the  Proprietors  Book  Sept.  27,  1733."  In  these  deeds 
he  is  described  as  "of  New  London."  It  appears  that  he  did  not 
remove  to  Lyme  till  after  1734.  On  June  5,  1739  Christopher 
Wickwere  "of  New  London,  now  resident  in  Lyme,"  conveyed  for 
210;)C  to  Peter  Wickwere  his  farm  in  the  North  Parish  near  Stony 
brook. 

The  will  of  Joshua  Baker,  dated  May  25,  1740,  devises  certain 
land  partially  described  as  follows:  "Beginning  at  Peter  Wick- 
wire's  south  corner  of  a  certain  piece  of  land  which  he  bought  of 

-72- 


his  brother  Christopher,  and  so  running  a  west  line  until  it  comes 
to  Samson  Haughton's  northwest  corner,"  etc. 

The  last  will  and  testament  of  Christopher  Wick  ware,  or 
Wickwere,  as  he  spelled  it,  reads  as  follows: 

"In  the  Name  of  God  Amen. 

I  Christopher  Wickwere  of  Lyme  in  the  County  of  New  Lon- 
don and  Colony  of  Connecticut  in  New  England,  Husbandman,  Do

Executors,  nothing  doubting  but  at  the  Generall  Resurrection  I 
shall  receive  the  same  again  by  the  mighty  power  of  God,  and  as 
Touching  such  worldly  Estate  wherewith  it  hath  pleased  God  to

also  five  shoats  running  about  the  place  to  be  Disposed  off  as  be- 
fore mentioned,  as  also  I  give  and  bequeath  unto  my  said  sons  all 
my  Rights  of  Land  that  now  or  shall  belong  to  me  as  also  all  my 
Debts  belonging  to  me  and  also  pay  all  my  debts  that  I  owe  out 
of  the  above  mentioned  premises. 

Item.  I  give,  devise  and  bequeath  unto  my  Daughters,

tioned Daughters  be  made  equall  with  what  my  said  Daughter 
Elizabeth  hath  already  had  of  me. 

Item.  I  make  and  ordain  my  sole  executors  of  this  my  last 
will  and  Testament  my  sons  Solomon  and  Nathan  Wickwere. 

In  witness  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  seal  the  Day  and

Christopher  Wickwere     (SEAL) 

Signed,  Sealed,  Declared  and  Delivered  by  the  Testator  for 
to  be  his  last  Will  and  Testament  (the  words  (them)  and  (Eliza- 
beth) being  first  interlined  in  presence  of 

Jonas  Hammilton 

Thomas  Grant 

Thos.  Collett." 

The  will  is  endorsed  as  follows : 
"The  Last  Will  and  Testament  of 
Christopher  Wickwere 
Late  of  Lyme,  Dec'd 
Exhibtd.  Feb.  10,  1746/7" 

"At  a  Court  Holden  Feb.  10,  1746/7 

Jonas  Hambleton  and  Thos.  Collett 

made  Oath  in  form  and  they  saw 

Thos.  Grant  sign. 

Test.     Pygan  Adams."    ' 

The  Probate  Journal  at  New  London  contains  the  follow- 
ing entry  under  the  same  date,  viz.:  "Zebediah  Wickwire  up- 
wards of  14  years  and  Bridgett  Wickwire  upwards  of  12  years, 
minors,  children  of  Christopher  Wickwire,  late  of  Lyme,  deceased, 
appeared  and  made  choice  of  Jonas  Hambleton  of  Colchester  to 
be  their  guardian." 

Solomon  Wickwire  as  executor  appeared  and  asked  that  free- 
holders be  appointed  to  divide  the  estate  among  the   children 

-74- 


according  to  the  will,  "there  being  no  persons  nominated  in  sd 
will  to  divide  the  same."  The  court  appointed  Capt.  Jon^.  Lati- 
mer of  New  London  and  Stephen  Gardner  of  Colchester. 

The  inventory  mentions  among  other  things  a  large  number 
of  agricultural  implements,  a  gun,  a  saddle  and  bridle  appraised 
at  10;;^,  a  pair  of  silver  buttons  and  four  silver  buckles,  a  great 
wheel  and  iron  spindle,  a  sword,  three  oxen,  two  horses,  numerous 
cows,  calves  and  swine,  and  "the  profits  of  a  lease  of  the  farm 
which  is  three  years  to  come."  The  total  value  was  509  pounds 
and  nine  shillings. 

On  April  11,  1749,  Solomon  as  executor  filed  a  list  of  debts 
aggregating  124,  4,  11  which  he  had  paid,  and  the  payments 
were  approved.

births  uncertain) : 

6         L     Ichabod,'   b.  about  1713. 

IL  Solomon,  b.  about  1715.  The  Colonial  Records  of  Con- 
necticut, Vol.  9,  page  371,  show  that  in  May,  1748,  a 
memorial  was  presented  to  the  legislature  of  Connecti- 
cut by  Solomon  Wickwire  and  twenty-two  others,  mem- 
bers of  the  church  in  and  inhabitants  of  the  society  or 
parish  of  New  Salem,  "lying  partly  in  Colchester  in  the 
County  of  Hartford  and  partly  in  Lyme  in  the  County  of 
New  Haven,"  praying  that  they  might  be  authorized  to 
call  a  minister  and  levy  a  tax  for  the  support  of  the 
church.  The  land  records  at  East  Haddam  contain  a 
record  of  a  deed,  dated  December  31,  1753,  by  George 
Dolbear  of  New  London  to  Solomon  Wickwire  "of  East 
Haddam,  County  of  Hartford  and  Colony  aforesaid, 
parish  of  Millington,"  conveying  about  fifty-three  acres 
in  Millington,  for  a  consideration  of  two  hundred  and  fifty 
pounds.  On  the  same  date  Solomon  deeded  the  land  to 
James  and  Zebediah  Wickwire.  On  April  19,  1760, 
-75- 


Zebediah  quit  claimed  to  James  "of  Colchester"  one-half 
of  said  tract,  which  "said  Wickwire  and  I  bought  in 
partnership  of  our  brother  Solomon  Wickwire."  Land  at 
Ashford  was  conveyed  to  Solomon  by  various  deeds,  dated 
in  1767,  1768,  and  1771.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the 
French  and  Indian  War,  serving  in  Capt.  Edmund  Well's 
Hebron  Company,  in  1756.  He  probably  raised  a  family 
at  Ashford,  but  their  names  have  not  been  ascertained. 
His  name  appears  as  a  resident  of  Ashford  in  1790  in 
the  first  census.

Hambleton  of  Norwich  on  the  goods,  rights  and  credits  of  John

JONATHAN^  (John'),  b.  Feb.  19,  1690-1;  married  1717, 
Elizabeth  Haughton.  The  banns  were  published  June  9,  1717. 
She  was  dau.  of  Sampson  Haughton  and  was  bapt.  Mar.  7,  1696. 
On  Sept.  2,  1722,  he  and  his  children  Katherine  and  Alpheus  were 
baptized  by  Rev.  James  Hillhouse,  pastor  of  the  Second  Congre- 
gational Church  of  New  London,  located  at  the  North  Parish. 
Shortly  afterwards  they  removed  to  Norwich. 

The  land  records  contain  numerous  instruments  showing  his 
dealings  in  real  estate.  In  1712  land  at  Voluntown  was  deeded 
to  him,  and  on  Nov.  27th  of  the  same  year  he  deeded  land  there 
to  Rene  Grignon.  His  name  is  spelled  "Wickwere."  On  \ug. 
24,  1716,  he  deeded  to  Lt.  Col.  John  Livingston  for  150;^  certain 

-77- 


land  at  New  London  adjoining  that  of  his  mother,  Mary  Wick- 
ware.  On  June  25,  1718,  Col.  Livingston  re-conveyed  the  same 
land  to  him.  On  July  30,  1718,  Jonathan  deeded  to  James  Brown 
"of  Colchester,"  his  brother-in-law,  land  adjoining  that  of  Peter 
Wickwire,  for  216;^.  On  June  25,  1719-20,  Joseph  Bradford  and 
Sarah  Knight  conveyed  certain  land  to  him  for  18;^.  In  these 
deeds  he  is  described  as  "of  New  London."  By  deed  dated  April 
24,  1723,  he  transferred  to  John  Lambert  a  tract  of  7  or  8  acres. 
In  a  deed  to  Gershom  Rogers,  dated  Feb.  11,  1728,  of  land  at  New 
London,  he  is  described  as  "of  Norwich."  In  a  deed  dated  May 
24,  1734,  to  Sampson  Haughton,  he  is  described  as  "of  New  Lon- 
don." In  a  deed  dated  Sept.  27,  1734,  from  his  brother  Christo- 
pher he  is  described  as  "of  Norwich."  In  a  deed  to  James  Harris, 
dated  March  16,  1735-6,  of  8  or  9  acres  of  land  at  New  London, 
with  a  dwelling,  for  240;)(^  he  is  described  as  "of  Norwich." 

In  a  letter  dated  April  9,  1739,  by  John  Richards  to  Governor 
Talcott,  it  is  stated  that  210  acres  of  land  have  been  granted  to 
"Wickwire  and  Baker,"  by  deeds  from  Owaneco.  (5  Conn.  Hist. 
Coll.  100.)  In  May,  1738,  Jonathan  Wickwire  of  Norwich  testified 
that  he  knew  Owaneco  and  was  present  when  Caesar,  his  son,  was 
invested  with  the  Sachemship,  and  that  Caesar  died  and  left  one 
child  only,  who  was  now  the  reputed  wife  of  Ben  Uncas,  Jr.,  the 
grand  son  of  Ben  Uncas,  the  brother  of  Owaneco.  (Do.  p.  198 
note.)  In  1739,  land  at  Norwich  was  conveyed  to  Jonathan  Wick- 
wire. The  record  of  the  births  of  his  children  Jonathan  and  De- 
light spells  the  surname  "Wickwer."  On  Feb.  14,  1739,  Lieut. 
James  Harris  deeded  to  his  sons  Jonathan  and  Lebbeus,  for  4000 
pounds,  lands  at  Massapeag  and  Colchester,  including  a  "tract  of 
land  commonly  called  Baker's  Farm,  with  all  the  land  adjoining 
thereunto,  which  I  purchased  of  Peter  Wickwire,  Jonathan  Wick- 
wire and  George  Richards,  with  the  buildings  thereon,  containing 
by  estimation  250  acres  &c.  *  *  *  *  also  one  tract  of 
land  which  I  purchased  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Livingston,  which  was 
part  of  the  purchase  land  of  Owaneco."  &c.    (Rec.  N.  New  London

Records,  vol.  16,  p.  168;  also  Col.  Rec.  Vol.  7,  p.  323.)  He  prob- 
ably died  in  1744,  as  is  indicated  by  the  following  probate  record 
at  New  London,  under  date  of  February  14,  1744-5,  viz. :  "Lebeus 
Wickwire,  a  minor  son  to  Jon^  Wickwire,  late  of  New  London, 
dec'd.,  being  upwards  of  14  years  of  age  makes  his  choice  of  his 
brother  Alpheus  Wickwire  to  be  his  guardian."

Company  recruited  chiefly  at  Norwich.  He  was  also  in  the  service

PETER-  (John'),  born  March  2,  1694,  at  the  North  Parish  of 
New  London,  Conn.,  now  known  as  Montville.  His  name  appears 
often  upon  the  land  and  church  records.  On  March  27,  1734,  he 
conveyed  to  Jonathan  Harris  for  500  pounds  certain  lands  adjoin- 
ing those  of  Col.  John  Livingston,  deceased;  and  on  April  12,  1736, 
he  conveyed  to  John  Nobles  225  acres  at  New  London,  his  wife 
Patience  joining  to  release  her  dower  rights.  In  1736/7  he  was 
chosen  as  a  member  of  a  committee  to  treat  with  the  Indians. 
He  and  his  wife  united  with  the  church  at  the  North  Parish  under 
the  pastorate  of  Rev.  James  Hillhouse,  Nov.  21,  1722.  Under 
date  of  Sept.  27,  1725,  Hempstead's  Diary  says:  "A  town  meet- 
ing to  choose  Leather  Sealers.  Lt.  Chapman  and  Peter  Wickwire 
chosen."   On  Mar.  31,  1733,  32  acres  of  land  on  Pole's  Hill  were  laid 

-79- 


out  to  him.  On  April  19,  1736,  he  was  appointed  a  member  of  a 
committee  to  employ  Rev.  William  Adams.  On  Mar.  7,  1736, 
he  was  a  member  of  a  committee  to  treat  with  the  Indians  regard- 
ing a  meeting-house.  In  1740  he  was  an  attesting  witness  to  the 
will  of  Joshua  Baker. 

He  married  Feb.  29,  1720-1,  Patience  Chapel,  b.  1699,  daugh- 
ter of  John  and  Sarah  (Lewis)  Chapel,  and  grand  daughter  of 
William  and  Christian  Chapel,  the  ancestors  of  the  Chapels  of 
Montville.  The  banns  were  published  Sept.  11,  1720.  Hemp- 
stead's Diary,  under  date  of  Sunday,  Dec.  1,  1734,  records:  "An 
infant  of  Peter  Wickwire's  buried  between  meetings."  Under 
date  of  Feb.  6,  1742-3  the  Diary  says:  "The  widow  Hannah 
Baker  an  aged  woman  about  88  died  in  the  N.  Parish  at  Peter 
Wickwire's  (she  was  his  aunt)." 

The  will  of  Peter  Wickware,  dated  August  10,  1744,  proved 
Sept.  11,  1744,  provides  first  that  all  his  debts  shall  be  paid.  It 
bequeathes  to  Patience,  his  "dearly  beloved  wife,"  a  sorrell  mare, 
side  saddle  and  bridle,  two  good  milch  cows,  one  feather  bed  and 
furniture,  and  one  third  of  all  his  real  estate  "during  her  widow- 
hood"; to  Peter,  his  son,  "all  the  money  that  the  Hammond  farm 
sells  for,"  one  mare,  saddle  and  bridle,  and  teaming  implements; 
to  his  daughter  Sarah  100  pounds,  one  milch  cow  and  a  feather 
bed;  to  his  daughter  Amey,  "when  of  age  of  18  years,"  100  pounds, 
one  milch  cow  and  a  feather  bed;  to  the  rest  of  his  sons,  viz.: 
George,  Joseph,  Jeremiah,  Samuel,  John  and  Ezekiel,  all  the  rest 
of  his  estate  to  be  equally  divided  among  them  "when  they  shall 
come  of  full  age,  and  to  be  bound  to  some  trade  as  soon  as  they 
come  of  the  age  of  14  years,  at  the  discretion  of  my  executors." 
His  wife  Patience  and  son  Peter  were  named  as  executors.  David 
Jewell,  Benjamin  Wheat,  and  Joshua  Raymond  were  witnesses. 
The  inventory  was  filed  Oct.  4,  1744.  Among  the  numerous 
articles  listed  were  "one  Beever  hat,"  appraised  at  two  pounds 
and  15  shillings;  one  pair  of  silver  shoe  buckles,  appraised  at  two 
pounds;  another  pair  of  shoe  buckles,  appraised  at  one  .pound  and 

-80- 


15  shillings;  one  great  coat  appraised  at  seven  pounds;  and  one 
farm,  appraised  at  1600  pounds.  On  March  25,  1760,  the  execu- 
tors filed  an  additional  inventory.  The  total  appraised  value  of 
the  estate  was  2634  pounds,  11  shillings,  and  six  pence.  On  April 
7,  1760,  upon  the  petition  of  his  son  Peter,  three  freeholders  Jason 
Allen,  Stephen  Hempstead  and  Joshua  Raymond,  Jr.,  were  ap- 
pointed to  distribute  the  estate.  On  Aug.  30,  1765,  a  very  long 
instrument  was  filed  by  these  freeholders,  apportioning  the  farm 
in  separate  tracts  among  the  sons  George,  Samuel,  Joseph,  Jere- 
miah, Ezekiel  and  John.  It  gave  to  the  widow  Patience  a  portion 
of  the  farm;  "also  the  great  lower  room  in  the  dwelling  house,  and 
the  chamber  over  it,  and  the  westerly  third  part  of  the  cellar  under 
said  room."

XII.  Sarah,  b.  about  1745.  When  her  brother  Joseph  re- 
moved in  1761  to  Bennington,  Vt.,  she  appears  to  have 
accompanied  him.  She  married  about  1768,  Lieut.  Joseph 
Rudd,  b.  1740.  The  History  of  Bennington,  p.  87,  con- 
tains the  following  account  of  her  marriage:  "When 
the  house,  now  the  residence  of  Aaron  L.  Hubbell,  and 
built  by  his  father,  was  built,  Mr.  Dewey,  (the  minister) 
was  present;  also  Joseph  Rudd  who  was  engaged  to  be 
married  to  Sarah  Wick  wire,  then  living  in  a  house  nearly 
opposite.  Mr.  Dewey,  who  knew  of  the  intention  of 
marriage,  said  to  Joseph:  'If  you  will  go  and  lead  Sarah 
over  here,  I  will  marry  you  for  nothing.'  The  reply  was: 
'It's  a  bargain.'  Joseph  led  the  young  lady  to  the  place, 
some  planks  were  laid  down  upon  the  timbers  for  a  floor, 
and  they  were  married."  He  rendered  marked  service 
in  the  Revolutionary  War.  He  died  May  25,  1818,  aged 
78.  After  his  death  she  received  a  pension  for  many 
years.  Her  name  is  on  the  pension  roll  of  1840,  at  which 
time  she  is  recorded  as  aged  95  years,  and  residing  with 
Enos  Rudd.     She  d.  Oct.  11,  1842.

ICHABOD^     (Christopher,'    John>),  b.     .      Married  at 

New  London  March  19,  1736,  Deborah  Fairbanks.  Hemp- 
stead's Diary,  under  date  of  Mar.  19,  1736,  says:  "At  night  Mr. 
Adams  maried  Ichabod  Wickwire  to  Deb.  Fairbanks."  He  re- 
sided at  Lyme.  He  probably  died  about  1763  or  1764.  On  Oct. 
16,  1764,  his  son  "Samuel  Wickwire  was  allowed  to  be  guardian  to 
Oliver  Wickwire,  bonds  given,  &c."  Oliver  was  then  about  19 
years  of  age,  and  it  is  not  improbable  that  such  appointment  was 
necessary  in  order  that  the  father's  estate  might  be  settled.  About 
1770  the  widow  and  children  removed  to  Cornwall.  The  follow- 
ing inscriptions  are  taken  from  grave  stones  in  a  cemetery  at  Lime 
Rock,  just  north  of  Cornwall,  all  apparently  in  a  family  plot: 

"Deborah,  wife  of  Ichabod  Wickwire,  died  March  18,  1782, 
aged  83  (2)  years."     [Difficult  to  decipher.     Date  may  be 
wrong.] 
"Elisal,  wife  of  John  Gilbert,  died  April  20,  1790,  aged  54." 
"Samuel  Wickwire,  died  Feby.  11,  1791,  aged  53  years." 
"Oliver  Wickwire,  died  Aug.  17,  1829,  aged  84  years." 
"Lois,  wife  of  Oliver  Wickwire,  died  Jan.  28,  1813,  aged  61 

years." 
The  records  of  the  Church  at  Cornwall  contain  the  following 

entries : 

"Old  Miss  Wickwire  died  Mch.  8,  1787." 

"Ichabod  Wickwire  and  Submit  Ford  married  Feb.  27,  1794." 
Jonathan  Fairbanks,  the  ancestor  of  the  American  family, 
came  from  Yorkshire,  Eng.,  to  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1633.  His  will 
was  dated  June  4,  1668.  He  had,  among  others,  a  son  Jonathan' 
who  was  a  soldier  in  King  Philip's  War,  serving  in  the  Mount  Hope 
and  several  other  campaigns;  the  latter  married  Deborah,  daughter 
of  Edward  Shepard  of  Cambridge,  and  had,  among  others,  a  son, 
Samuel,'  b.  June  2,  1665,  who  removed  to  New  London,  Conn.;

married  Christian,  daughter  of  William  and  Christian  Chapel  and 
had  two  daughters:  (1)  Abigail,  b.  about  1705,  who  m.  Feb.  24, 
1725,  Jonathan  Church,  of  Colchester;  and  (2)  Deborah,  who, 
as  above  stated,  married  Ichabod  Wickwire. 

Hempstead's  Diary  under  date  of  Mar.  30,  1750-1  says: 
"Ichabod  Wickwire  and  Jonas  Hamilton  came  from  Paugwonk 
to  buy  my  upper  farm  and  offered  ;^700,  ;<£100  down,  300  at  Christ- 
mas and  300  in  the  next  fall  after." 

Ichabod  is  said  to  have  served  in  the  French  and  Indian  War, 
and  to  have  participated  under  General  Wolfe  in  the  campaign 
against  Quebec.

NATHAN'  (Christopher, '•'  John'),  b.  about  1717.  He  was  a 
soldier  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  serving  for  a  time  in  Capt. 
Edmund  Well's  Hebron  Company  and  later  in  Col.  Lee's  Company, 
and  lost  his  life  at  Albany,  Aug.  28,  1756.  On  Oct.  18,  1756,  his 
estate  was  probated  at  New  London,  John  Grant  being  appointed 
his  administrator.  The  Court  assigned  the  whole  estate,  after 
payment  of  expenses,  to  the  widow  "for  the  nurture  of  her  small 
children  and  herself."     The  names  are  not  given  in  the  record. 

Children : 

21  I.     Richard. 1 
II.     Ruth. 

(1)  Circumstantial  evidence  indicates  that  Richard  and  Ruth  were  the 
children  of  Nathan,  but  authentic  record  of  the  births  has  not  been  found.

1731.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  1755, 
serving  in  Capt.  Stephen  Hosmer's  Company.  The  records  de- 
scribe him  as  of  New  Salem,  in  Colchester.  John  Grant  and  John 
Gilbert  also  served  in  this  company.  On  Dec.  23,  1753,  land  at 
Millington  was  deeded  to  James  and  Zebediah  Wickwire  by  their 
brother  Solomon.  On  April  19,  1760,  Zebediah  deeded  his  interest 
in  said  land  to  "James  Wickwire  of  Colchester."  A  deed  from 
Gershom  and  Elizabeth  Fox  to  "James  Wickwire  of  Ashford, 
County  of  Windham,"  was  recorded  at  Ashford  Sept.  6,  1771.  He 
appears  as  a  resident  of  East  Haddam  in  the  census  of  1790.  On 
April  11,  1801,  James  then  "of  East  Haddam"  deeded  land  at 
Millington  to  his  son  Benjamin.  James  died  at  Millington  April

In  May,  1760,  another  resolution  of  the  General  Court,  recited 
that  Daniel  Kingsbury  "hath  languished  under  consuming  sick- 
ness and  hath  not  nor  is  likely  ever  to  be  able  to  do  said  service," 
and  empowered  Mary  Wickwire  to  sell  so  much  of  the  real  estate 
as  might  be  necessary  to  pay  the  debts. 

The  records  of  marriage  and  births  of  children  spell  the  sur- 
name "Wickwere."

CAPTAIN  JOSEPH'  (Peter,'  John'),  b.  June  22,  1734. 
On  Jan.  1,  1749-50,  he  chose  his  brother  Peter  to  be  his  guardian. 
He  married  (1)  Martha  Story,  in  1758,  at  Lebanon,  Conn.,  and  (2) 
at  North  Bennington,  Vt.,  Widow  Mary  Lawrence.  His  first 
child,  Francis,  was  born  at  Lebanon,  Conn.,  where  he  was  living 
in  1759-61.  In  the  summer  and  fall  of  1761,  about  20  or  30  fami- 
lies settled  at  Bennington,  Vt.,  and  founded  that  town.  Among 
them  were  Joseph  Wickwire  and  his  wife  Martha  Story.  The 
first  town  meeting  was  held  on  March  31,  1762,  at  which  he  was 
elected  a  member  of  the  board  of  selectmen.  The  roll  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  first  church,  still  in  existence,  contains  the  name  of 
Martha  Wickwire. 

Bancroft's  History  of  the  United  States,  referring  to  Ben- 
nington as  it  was  in  July,  1765,  says:  "Men  of  New  England  of  a 
superior  sort  had  formed  already  a  community  of  67  families, 
in  as  many  houses,  with  an  ordained  minister;  had  elected  their 
own  municipal  officers;  had  formed  their  several  public  schools; 
set  their  meeting-house  among  the  primeval  forests  of  beech  and 
maple;  and,  in  a  word,  enjoyed  the  flourishing  state  which  springs 
rom  rural  industry,  intelligence,  and  unaffected  piety." 

-90- 


The  History  of  Bennington  gives  a  number  of  items  of  interest 
regarding  the  family.  On  pages  405-7  appears  a  copy  of  a  docu- 
ment dated  Nov.  30,  1767,  signed  by  Joseph  Wickwire  and  Jona- 
than Wickwire  (his  cousin,  son  of  Jonathan"),  and  others,  to  ad- 
just certain   Indian  rights. 

On  January  1,  1784,  a  paper  wherein  the  signers  agreed  to  be 
taxed  to  pay  the  minister  was  signed  by  Joseph  Wickwire  and  72 
others.  A  fac-simile  of  this  document  is  found  in  the  Wallbridge 
Genealogy,  p.  85. 

His  earliest  military  service  was  in  August,  1757,when  he  served 
in  the  French  and  Indian  War  as  a  member  of  Capt.  Joseph  Fitch's 
Lebanon  Company,  during  the  relief  of  Fort  William  Henry.  In 
1764  he  was  a  private  in  Captain  John  Fassett's  First  Company 
of  militia  of  Bennington. 

He  enlisted  in  October,  1776,  in  Captain  Elijah  Dewey's  Com- 
pany, of  Col.  Moses  Robinson's  Regiment  of  Vermont  militia, 
and  served  at  the  capture  of  Ticonderoga ;  at  Mount  Independence ; 
and  at  the  Battle  of  Bennington,  Aug.  16,  1777.  In  1780  he  was 
a  sergeant  in  Capt.  Ebenezer  Wood's  Company  of  Col.  Samuel 
Herrick's  Regiment;  shortly  afterwards  he  was  promoted  to  the 
rank  of  ensign  in  the  same  company,  which  was  transferred  to 
Col.  Ebenezer  Wallbridge's  Regiment;  in  August,  1781,  he  was 
a  lieutenant  "on  command" ;  was  lieutenant  in  Capt.  E.  Wood's 
Company,  Oct.  4,  1781;  he  served  as  a  lieutenant  at  Guilford,  in 
September.  1782.  Shortly  afterward  he  became  captain  of  one 
of  the  Bennington  companies.  He  took  an  active  part  in  the 
struggle  with  the  New  Yorkers  regarding  the  New  Hampshire 
grants,  and  in  January,  1784,  led  his  company  in  the  expedition 
to  Guilford,  under  the  command  of  Ethan  Allen.  See  Hall's 
History  of  East  Vermont,  p.  519. 

Captain  Joseph  Wickwire  is  said  to  have  served  also  in  the  War 
of  1812,  but  this  has  not  been  confirmed.  He  died  in  1822,  and 
his  will,  dated  Oct.  24,   1816,  was  admitted  to  probate  Aug.  7,

1822.  The  will  mentions  his  wife  Mary  Wickwire,  his  grand- 
children by  Sarah  Kingsley,  his  daughter,  "the  heir  or  heirs  of 
Joseph  Wickwire  which  he  had  by  his  second  wife,"  his  grand- 
children, children  of  Chapel  Wickwire,  deceased,  his  daughter 
Patience  Church,  his  son  Roswell,  "the  child  or  children  of  my 
son  Rufus  Wickwire,  deceased,  which  he  had  by  his  first  wife," 
and  his  son  Reuben,  whom  he  appoints  executor,  and  names 
as  residuary   legatee. 

His  second  wife  died  Dec.  28,  1823.  Following  is  a  copy  of  the 
inscription  on  her  monument:  "Sacred  to  the  Memory  of  Mary 
Lawrence  widow  and  relict  of  Captain  Joseph  Wickwire,  who  died 
Dec.  28,  1823,  aged  87  years."

SAMUEL'  (Peter,'  John^,  b.  May  8,  1738,  at  the  North 
Parish.  The  land  records  at  Lebanon  show  a  deed  of  land  to 
Joseph  Wickwire  (15)  in  1759,  and  a  deed  from  him  in  1761,  ap- 
parently just  prior  to  his  removal  to  Bennington,  Vt.  The  re- 
cords at  New  London  disclose  a  deed  dated  Feb.  19,  1760,  by 
Samuel  "of  New  London,"  to  Capt.  John  Bradford,  of  all  the  land 
inherited  by  Samuel  from  his  father  Peter.  The  Lebanon  records 
show  that  land  was  deeded  March  20,  1761,  to  Samuel  "of  Lebanon," 
and  that  he  conveyed  it  away  the  following  day.  The  next  trace 
of  him  is  found  in  the  New  Hampshire  census  of  1790,  at 
which  time  he  was  residing  in  New  Hampshire  with  a  family 
consisting  of  four  females.  The  records  also  show  a  deed,  dated 
March  22,  1797,  at  Lebanon,  from  Capt.  John  Arnold  to  Ezekiel 
Wickwire  "of  Lebanon."  Probably  this  Ezekiel  was  the  son  of 
Samuel.  Shortly  afterwards  Ezekiel  removed  to  Monmouth, 
Maine,  and  on  Oct.  20,  1806,  he  and  his  wife  Cynthia,  formerly 
Cynthia  Torrey,  "both  of  Monmouth,  in  the  District  of  Maine," 
conveyed  land  situated  at  Lebanon.  Samuel  probably  had  the 
children  named  below,  besides  several  daughters  but  the  birth 
records  have  not  been  found. 

Children : 
35  I.  Ezekiel,*  b.  April  4,  1766;  m.  March  19,  1795,  Cynthia

he  removed  to  Monmouth,  Maine.  He  married  Sally, 
daughter  of  Timothy  Wight.  Later  in  life  he  removed  to 
Augusta;  and  thence  to  Windsor,  where  he  d.  in  1840, 
leaving  no  children.

SAMUEL*  (Ichabod,'  Christopher,' John'),  b.  in  1738;  m.  June 
24,  1761 ,  Jane  Brown,  at  East  Haddam.  The  land  records  at  Lyme 
(Hamburgh),  Conn,  show  that  on  July  21,  1763  John  Griswold 
deeded  to  Samuel  Wickwire  "of  Lyme,"  25  acres  of  land  bounded 
as  follows:  "Beginning  at  the  Northeast  corner,  at  a  heap  of 
stones,  being  the  northwest  corner  of  the  Wickwire's  land,"  &c. 
On  May  11,  1769,  Samuel  Gilbert  of  Farmington  executed  to 
Samuel  Wickwdre  "of  Lyme"  a  release  of  all  claim  to  16  acres 
of  land,  "commencing  at  the  westerly  end  of  said  Wickwire's  farm, 
which  land  I  hold  by  deed  from  said  Wickwire  which  deed  is 
dated  the  24th  day  of  September  1765."  On  March  23,  1770, 
Samuel  Wickwire  "of  Lyme"  deeds  to  Samuel  Gilbert  of  Farm- 
ington certain  "land  lying  in  the  aforesaid  town  of  Lyme  near  a 
place  called  'Halfway  Plain'  and  contains  by  estimation  55  acres, 
with  a  dwelling  house  standing  on  said  land."  The  probate  court 
records  kept  at  East  Haddam  from  October  Session  1741  to  May 
29,  1832  (and  now  kept  at  Colchester)  show  the  following  entry 
under  date  of  Oct.  6,  1764:  "At  said  Court  Samuel  Wickwire 
was  allowed  to  be  guardian  to  Oliver  Wickwire,  bonds  given  etc." 

He  served  in  Capt.  Jonathan  Lattimore's  Company  in  the 
French  and  Indian  War  1757.  (9  Conn.  Hist.  Soc.  Coll.  233.)  He 
served  also  in  Capt.  Nicholas  Bishop's  Company  from  June  5,  to 
Nov.  29,  1759.     (10  Conn.  Hist.  Soc.  Coll.  172.) 

Samuel  Wickwire  removed  to  Cornwall  about  1770.  He  served 
in  Captain  Martin  Kirtland's  Company,  6th  Connecticut  Regiment, 
commanded  by  Colonel  Return  J.  Meigs,  Revolutionary  War. 
He  enlisted  at  Salisbury  on  February  20,  1778,  to  serve  10  months. 
The  census  of  1790  states  that  he  then  resided  at  Cornwall  and 
that  his  family  consisted  of  four  sons  over  16  years  of  age,  one 
under  16,  and  of  two  females.  He  d.  Feb.  11,  1791,  aged  53  years,

The  compiler  has  in  his  possession  a  portion  of  the  old 
family  bible  of  James  Wickwire,  upon  the  last  page  of  which 
appears  in  his  handwriting  a  record  of  the  births  and  a  partial

Regiment.  In  1832  he  received  a  pension  and  his  name  is  on  the 
pension  roll  of  1840.  He  d.  April  21,  1848.  He  is  said  to  have 
possessed  a  sense  of  humor.  It  is  related  that  a  ne'er-do-well 
comrade,  complaining  because  he  had  not  received  a  pension,  said 
that  if  the  authorities  understood  his  condition  in  life  he  was  sure 
a  pension  would  be  awarded  him.  "Well,"  said  Grant,  sympa- 
thetically, "I'll  help  you  get  that  pension.  You  just  make  an 
affidavit  that  you  are  not  worth  a  dollar  and  I  will  make  one 
that  you  never  will  be.'' 

His  will  was  admitted  to  probate  April  22,  1848.  He  gave  his 
daughter  Sarah  Ann  Warren  $500.  He  left  nothing  to  Frederick

CHAPEL*  (Capt.  Joseph,''  Peter,^  John^),  b. ,  1768,  at 

Bennington,  Vt. ;  m.  about  1798  Anna,  dau.  of  George  and  Sarah 
Dana  Lamb.  He  probably  changed  the  spelling  of  his  name  to 
Wickware,  as  his  descendants  all  use  that  form  of  the  word. 
For  many  years  he  was  Deputy  Collector  of  Customs ;  he  was  en- 
gaged in  the  battle  of  Plattsburg,  1814,  and  d.  Sept.  15,  1814,  at 
Chazy,  N.  Y.,  of  the  "bloody  flux"  caused  by  the  jalap  with 
which  it  is  said  the  British  poisoned  the  wells.  His  son  Milton 
D.  was  pressed  into  the  service  of  the  American  Army,  which  took 
all  their  horses,  cows  and  oxen  and  left  the  widow  almost  destitute. 
All  she  ever  recovered  was  her  son,  and  one  wheel  to  an  ox-cart, 

at  the   conclusion    of   the  war!      She    afterwards    married    

Phelps  and  after  his  death  went  to  live  with  her  youngest  son, 
Melancthon  Smith,  at  Passaic,  N.  J.,  and  d.  June.  15,  1845.

IV.  Albert  G.,  b.  at  St.  Albans,  Vt.,  Mar.  17,  1807;  d.  Aug. 
31,  1839.  The  record  of  his  birth  has  not  yet  been  ob- 
tained, but  he  was  apparently  the  son  of  Roswell.  Follow- 
ing is  taken  from  his  obituary  notice  as  found  in  the 
General  Minutes  of  the  Conference  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal   Church   for  the  year  1840 : 

"Albert  G.  Wick  ware  was  born  at  St.  Albans,  Vermont,  on  the 
17th  of  March,  1807.  At  an  early  age  he  was  left  an  orphan,  but 
not  until  a  pious  mother  had  sown  in  his  young  heart  that  seed 
of  the  kingdom  which  was  destined  to  spring  up  and  bear  fruit 
unto  eternal  life.  That  fruit,  however,  did  not  appear  until  he 
reached  the  age  of  nineteen.  At  that  time  his  native  village 
was  visited  by  a  gracious  revival  of  religion,  and  under  the  labors 
of  the  Rev.  Lorin  Clarke  he  was  awakened  and  converted  to  God. 
This,  according  to  his  journal,  was  on  the  17th  of  March,  1826, 
the  day  he  was  nineteen  years  of  age.  'Happy  day  !'  he  exclaims; 
'the  happiest  birth-day  I  ever  experienced.'  He  was  soon  per- 
suaded that  God  required  him  to  call  sinners  to  repentance;  and 
under  this  impression  left  his  native  village  in  pursuit  of  that 
knowledge  and  those  requirements  which  he  deemed  important 
in  a  calling  so  high  and  holy.  He  repaired  to  the  Wilbraham 
Seminary,  then  under  the  care  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Fisk,  and  engaged 
with  diligence  in  the  prosecution  of  his  studies.     After  continuing 

-108- 


some  time  in  Wilbraham,  he  received  license  to  preach,  and  was 
admitted  on  trial  in  the  New  York  conference.  He  served  an 
acceptable  probation,  and  was  in  due  time  admitted  to  member- 
ship, being  elected  and  ordained  deacon  in  1834,  and  elder  in  1836. 

The  labours  of  our  departed  brother  were  owned  of  God.  He 
was  a  principal  instrument  in  gathering  and  establishing  a  church 
in  Bristol  circuit;  and  in  Kingston  station.  New  York,  more  than 
one  hundred  professed  conversion  under  his  ministry.  At  the 
conference  in  1839  he  was  appointed  in  charge  of  the  Richmond 
circuit.  He  entered  upon  his  labours  with  his  usual  zeal  and  ac- 
ceptance, and  with  much  promise  of  success.  But  scarcely  had 
he  begun  his  work  when  he  was  arrested  by  a  sudden  and  violent 
disease.  It  commenced  on  the  10th  of  August,  and  on  the  21st 
he  resigned  his  spirit  to  God.  When  having  expressed  a  desire 
to  recover,  his  companion,  whom  he  tenderly  loved,  inquired, 
'Is  it  for  my  sake?'  He  replied,  'No;  but  that  I  may  yet  preach 
Jesus  to  sinners.'  At  another  time  he  exclaimed,  'If  I  die, 
there  is  not  a  doubt  upon  my  mind  but  that  all  is  safe;  my  confi- 
dence is  strong  in  the  Lord;  these  light  afflictions,  which  are 
but  for  a  moment,  will  work  out  for  me  a  far  more  exceeding  and 
eternal  weight  of  glory.'  In  conclusion  we  may  say,  that  in  the 
death  of  our  brother  the  church  has  lost  a  firm  friend  and  a  promis- 
ing minister;  and  we  may  add,  that  the  children  and  youth  of 
the  sabbath  schools  have  lost  one  who  ceased  not  to  pray  and 
labour  for  their  best  interests." 

He  was  pastor  at  Goshen,  Conn.,  in  1835-6.

from  the  local  paper. 

"RENSSELAER    G.    WICKWIRE. 

Our  community  has  again  been  called  to  part  with  one  of  its 
oldest  and  most  respected  residents.  Thursday  evening,  Septem- 
ber 24,  1896,  Mr.  R.  G.  Wickwire  passed  away  at  his  residence  in 

-163- 


Akron.  He  was  born  in  Middlefield,  Otsego  County,  N.  Y.,  May 
28,  1806,  and  was  accordingly  90  years,  4  months  and  27  days  old 
at  the  time  of  his  death.  When  but  four  years  old  he  came  with 
his  parents  to  Darien,  Genesee  County,  where  he  lived  until  he 
came  in  1832  to  live  on  his  farm  two  miles  east  of  this  village. 
To  this  farm  he  brought  his  bride,  Sarah  S.  Whipple,  in  April,  1839, 
and  here  they  lived  until  recent  years,  when  they  left  the  farm  for 
a  house  in  the  village.  After  51  years  of  wedded  life  Mrs.  Wickwire 
died  January  24,  1891,  leaving  Mr.  Wickwire  with  three  children, 
two  sons  and  a  daughter,  namely:  J.  W.  Wickwire,  the  late  I.  L. 
Wickwire,  and  Mrs.  M.  E.  Rumsey  of  Leslie,  Mich. 

Mr.  Wickwire  was  in  many  respects  quite  an  unusual  man. 
Always  of  strictly  temperate  habits  and  of  great  self  control,  he 
was  never  sick,  never  having  had  to  call  a  physician  until  his  last 
illness.  He  was  not  only  a  man  with  a  sound  body,  but  of  a  sound 
mind  also.  In  the  home  he  was  loving  and  kind,  a  true  friend,  an 
active  and  useful  citizen.  In  business  he  was  successful,  and 
being  correct  and  unright  in  life,  a  lover  of  right  and  justice,  he 
was  universally  esteemed  and  trusted  by  all  who  knew  him.  His 
illness  was  of  brief  duration  and  when  the  end  came  it  was  most 
peaceful.  And  so  he  passed  away  mourned  by  a  large  circle  of 
kindred  and  friends.  His  funeral  took  place  at  the  Baptist  Church, 
Sunday  morning,  September  27,  the  services  being  conducted 
by  the  Rev.  William  Elgin,  pastor  of  the  Church."

JAMES'  (Grant/  James/  Christopher/  John'),  b.  Feb.  1, 
1808,  at  Florence,  Oneida  County,  N.  Y.;  m.  May  17,  1837,  Julia 
A.  Wilson,  b.  Sept.  22,  1817,  at  Harwinton,  Conn. ;  dau.  of  Eli  and 
Julia  (Candee)  Wilson.  They  were  pioneers  in  Illinois.  The 
following  account  of  the  sixtieth  anniversary  of  their  wedding  is 
taken  from  the  Farmington  Bugle  of  May  20,  1897: 

"Monday,  last,  the  17th,  was  a  rare  day  of  the  fully  opened 
spring.  The  social  event  of  the  day  in  Farmington  was  the  cele- 
bration of  the  sixtieth  anniversary  of  the  marriage  in  1837  of 
James  Wickwire  and  Julia  Wilson. 

This  span  of  60  years  has  witnessed  the  rise  and  the  passing 
away  of  a  great  generation  of  men  and  events,  an  epoch  in  many 
respects  the  greatest  in  history;  most  notably  in  the  grasp  which 
understanding  has  gained  upon  the  world. 

When  Eli  Wilson  and  family,  of  which  the  bride  of  1837, 
Julia,  was  a  member,  first  came  to  Illinois,  it  was  as  early  as  1834. 
They  emigrated  from  York  State  and  James  Wickwire  accompanied 
them.  He  stopped  at  Fort  Clark,  now  known  as  Peoria,  while  the 
Wilson  family  located  in  Farmington. 

In  May,  1837,  at  the  log  cabin,  the  home  of  the  Wilson  family, 
was  celebrated  the  wedding  of  James  Wickwire  and  Julia  Wilson, 
the  anniversary  of  which  was  commemorated  last  Tuesday.  They 
resided  nearby  until  1856,  when  they  removed  to  the  stone  house 
built  in  1852,  and  known  as  the  Wickwire  homestead.  Previous 
to  and  during  this  time  the  underground  railway  was  in  active 
operation  and  the  Wilson  and  Wickwire  homesteads  were  stations, 
and  many  were  the  fugitive  slaves  that  these  noble  people  helped 
to  freedom.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wickwire  lived  in  the  old  stone  house 
continuously  until  last  fall  when  they  removed  to  their  present 
home  in  Farmington.  Many  are  the  interesting  anecdotes  and 
stories  of  pioneer  life  that  can  be  gathered  from  these  worthy 
people,  but  time  and  space  forbid  the  mentioning. 

-167- 


The  families  on  both  sides  are  represented  by  all  that  goes  to 
make  Central  Illinois  substantial  and  progressive.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Wickwire  are  true  t}^es  of  sterling  worth.  Their  lives  bear  wit- 
ness to  the  spirit  of  pure  living  and  good  doing  and  thinking  that 
dwell  with  them,  and  their  impress  is  seen  on  the  several  genera- 
tions of  their  descendants  and  relatives."

1882,  James  W.  Robottom,  formerly  of  London,  England.  They 
reside  at  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  The  following  is  taken  from  the 
Chicago  Record  of  Oct.  19,  1897: 

"NOTED    ORIENTAL    SCHOLAR. 

Mrs.  Eunice  Linford  Wickware  Robottom  of  Jersey  City, 
N.  J.,  is  the  probable  Amelia  B.  Edwards  or  American  Egyptolo- 
gist of  the  future.     She  has  studied  diligently  for  ten  years,  and 

-195- 


has  lectured  successfully  in  different  cities  and  will  devote  her  time 
in  the  future  to  the  platform  and  to  translating  papyri  and  ex- 
haustive travel  and  exploration  in  Egypt. 

Mrs.  Robottom  is  a  young  and  attractive  woman,  a  devoted 
mother  and  an  accomplished  housewife.  Her  father  was  a  pro- 
fessor of  Greek,  and  through  his  influence  and  association  she  be- 
came early  in  life  an  Oriental  scholar. 

Ten  years  ago,  while  recovering  from  an  illness,  some  friend 
sent  her  a  copy  of  'Ten  Thousand  Miles  up  the  Nile.'  This  she 
read  with  avidity,  and  while  confined  to  her  bed  she  taught  her- 
self hieroglyphics  and  Egyptian  mythology,  after  which  she  read 
Egyptian  history,  literature,  fiction,  poetry,  essays  and  Egyptian 
commonplaces;  in  short,  everything  which  has  any  bearing  on  the 
subject.  The  Jersey  City  Library,  proud  of  her  researches,  has 
sent  abroad  and  procured  works  for  her  especial  use,  among  which 
is  the  'Egyptian  Ritual  of  Life  and  Death,'  a  very  rare  literary 
treasure.  Mrs.  Robottom  is  now  translating  a  papyrus  which  is 
the  story  of  the  voyage  of  Queen  Hatasu,  the  progressive  Queen  of 
the  line  of  the  Pharaohs."

George  appears  as  a  Christian  name  three  times  in  the  next 
generation.  It  is  not  improbable  that  George  Tonge  of  New 
London  was  descended  from  this  family.  He  named  his  son 
George;  his  daughter,  Mary  Tonge  Wickware,  named  her  eldest  son 
George ;  and  the  name  frequently  appears  in  subsequent  generations.

my  right,  lying  in  Mohegan  and  neere  a  coave  upon  the  West  side 
of  the  Great  River  of  New  London."     (5-140.) 

In  the  distribution,  Sept.  17,  1692,  of  the  estate  of  George 
Tonge,  this  tract  was  apportioned  as  follows:  "that  hundred  acres 
of  Poole's,  the  middle  part  for  Elizabeth  Tonge,  that  end  next  the

third  part  of  a  lot  in  New  London  formerly  belonging  to  George 
Tonge,  transferred  to  her  by  Joshua  Baker  in  right  of  his  wife 
by  deed  of  even  date,  conveyed  to  Joshua  Baker  "my  two  divisions

Richard  Poole  and  Thomas  Stafford,  being  the  one-third  part  of 
140  acres  and  my  whole  right  in  those  two  parcels  of  land."

born  about  1700. 

TRACT  6. 

A  part  of  the  land  distributed  Sept.  17,  1692  to  Mary  Wick- 
ware.    (5-149.)

conferred  upon  Christopher  Wickware  by  his  mother. 

On  Jany.  16,  1716/7  Christopher  for  180;^  granted  it  to  Col. 
John  Livingston,  the  description  being  as  follows:  "late  in  the

which  is  about  60  or  70  rods  to  the  southward  of  said  Wickware' s 
dwelling  house  which  stands  on  part  of  sd  land  at  the  rhoad  side 
which  now  leads  to  a  cellar  that  John  Wickware  built  and  so  runs 
westerly  from  the  sd.  stump  to  a  great  rock  on  the  hill  just  to  the 
northward  of  that  part  of  Samuel  Allen's  land  which  he  broke  up 
in  the  summer  of  the  year  1716;  and  from  thence  to  a  white  oak

*  *  *  together  with  all  the  houses,  fences,  timber,  waters,  mines 
and  minerals  thereon,"  &c.  The  deed  recites  that  the  land  was 
given  to  Christopher  "by  deed  dated  Dec.  3  this  present  year  1716." 
"In  witness  whereof  the  said  Christopher  Wickwerr  and  Elizabeth 
his  wife  in  token  that  she  resigns  all  her  right  of  thirds  in  the 
granted  premises  have  hereunto  set  their  hands  and  seals  the  16^^ 
day  of  January  1716  and  17,  in  the  third  year  of  the  reign  of  King 
George  the  Second."     (7-122.) 

-238- 


This  tract  was  subsequently  acquired  by  John  Vibber. 

On  June  21,  1731,  for  a  nominal  consideration  Christopher 
executed  a  confirmatory  deed  to  John  Vibber  of  this  tract,  the 
description  being  very  similar  to  that  above  set  forth,  save  that  at 
the  point  where  the  asterisk  is  inserted  the  following  language 
appears:  "and  is  the  corner  bounds  of  land  originally  Mr.  John 
Wickwere's  father  of  s^^  Christopher."     (9-209.) 

On  Feb.  27,  1740-1  John  Vibber  granted  this  land  (with  addi- 
tional land  to  the  westward)  to  his  son-in-law  George  Hill,  the

TRACT  7.     (About  33  acres.) 

This  tract  was  the  westerly  part  of  the  original  Poole  tract, 
and  was  apportioned  to  Mary  Wickware. 

On  March  23,  1715/16  Mary  Wickware  granted  this  tract  to 
her  son  Peter,  the  description  being  as  follows  (7-155) :
